Conor McGregor's Brilliant MMA Mind Will Be on Display vs. Khabib
There is a categorical fact that’s been lost in the last year.
Lost in the sea of fancy watches and cars and suits, of yachting and wealth bellies and Diddy bread.
That fact? Conor McGregor is one of the best minds in MMA, one of the sport’s truest students.
As divisive now as he ever was, having run off to a hundred-million-dollar payday for a night trading punches with Floyd Mayweather and left MMA behind for the better part of two years as a result, McGregor’s name has drawn to one of two poles.
He’s an overrated bum who’s about to be exposed according to those at one, and he’s the greatest fighter who ever lived in the eyes of those at the other.
