Conor McGregor had to address the footage of him from April where he struck an elderly patron at a pub. In a lengthy interview that aired on ESPN, he talked about what happened but also filled fans in on when he would actually be fighting professionally. One of the things he commented on was watching his old rival Nate Diaz return at UFC 241.
McGregor said it was a "motivating experience" to see Diaz return after his three-year layoff and not only secure a victory along with the possibility of a high profile match against Jorge Masvidal.
