Conor McGregor hasn't fought since 2021, but he remains a fan of combat sports and follows the main fights. In fact, the UFC star gave his opinion on Alex Poatan 's victory against Magomed Ankalaev in the rematch, held last Saturday (4), in Las Vegas (USA). And, it seems, the Irishman liked what he saw.
'Notorious' made a point of praising the top light heavyweights (up to 93 kg). Regarding the Brazilian, McGregor was impressed with his motivation to bounce back after his loss to his rival in March, and with his striking skills.
