According to Fertitta, the 26-year-old athlete has remarkable skills not only inside the octagon, but also outside it. “I hate to say it, but with his talent for words and his athletic abilities, he's almost like the Irish Muhammad Ali. Comparing someone to Ali is kind of idiotic, because of all the remarkable things that are associated with him and everything, but Conor just has that spark, that difference”, said Fertitta, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Junkie”. . “Wherever we put him, be it on TV, in an interview, or in a group of people, he is the center of attention. He has that special quality.”
McGregor will step into the octagon again next Sunday (18), when he faces Dennis Siver at UFC Fight Night 59. If he wins, the Irishman will be expected to challenge for the featherweight belt, currently in the hands of José Aldo, in combat possibly in Las Vegas (USA) or Dublin (Ireland).
