The “Cowboy”, who has already exchanged several barbs with the featherweight champion on this type of occasion, revealed that McGregor is always restrained before going on stage, afraid of the other fighters. Cerrone stated that this was what happened at the press conference to promote UFC 205, in New York (USA), at the end of last month.
“It’s all a big show for McGregor. We couldn't hear what he was saying at the press conference. He was slurring his words and we were behind the speakers. Behind the scenes he is like a scared child. He hides from us. When they leave us in position [to go to the press conference], they put Conor in a separate room, because he can't be close to the other fighters”, said the fighter, according to the English website “IBTimes”.
Cerrone stated that UFC fighters, practically without exception, have bad feelings for McGregor. “[He is hated] By everyone. He's not a good guy. But things are like that. He did a good job of promoting the sport and he did a good job of making money. So, I can't hate the guy for that, but I'm not an admirer of his person. He attracts attention, merits to him. But, hang out like him as a friend? No, it wouldn’t come out,” he added.
McGregor and Cerrone will be in action at UFC 205 next month. Cerrone stares Kelvin Gastelum and McGregor faces Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight belt.
