Since rising to the position of one of the UFC's biggest stars today, the Irishman Conor McGregor He has not stopped collecting dislikes, and his expansive and provocative behavior is one of the main justifications for this. The newest name on the Irishman's list of enemies is the Brazilian Vitor belfort, who harshly criticized McGregor's “marketing” style, made a point of praising José Aldo and value your trilogy against Dan Henderson.
“This fight has history: Belfort x Henderson 3. We don’t need to talk nonsense to sell it. Will one day MMA be seen more as a sport and less as entertainment? Looking at the way things are going, it seems not. Unfortunately, loudmouths have gained more space than real athletes. A good example is Aldo, a true athlete, and McGregor, a loudmouth. Where are we going to stop? To become an Olympic sport, it is no use just applying the Olympic rules, the organization and the athletes have to understand that the Olympic values must also be applied. And respect is one of them. I don't want my son to learn that being a fighter means cursing others and only talking about money. Here's my free consultancy. I have a voice!”, vented the “Phenomenon” on social media.
On December 7th, in São Paulo (SP), Vitor belfort face the veteran Dan Henderson for the third time in his career, in a fight that will break the tie between them. Just over a month later, on December 12th, it is time for Conor McGregor take to the octagon at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas (USA), for the long-awaited fight against José Aldo, resulting in the unification of the featherweight category belts.
