McGregor: "Topuria reminds me of Lobov - the same kind of petty douchebag."

Star Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor expressed his opinion that UFC featherweight champion Elijah Topuria has extremely low chances of winning a fight with former belt holder Max Holloway.

"Topuria reminds me of Lobov - he's the same kind of small-minded jerk. Holloway is too light on his feet and too fast for him. I think Max would pick him apart if they fought. Holloway was already champion and he held the title for a long time and now he has the BMF belt.

In my opinion, Topuria is not a champion at all. He may have the belt, but it's a meaningless belt since he owns it. I don't see any appeal in him. Who is he anyway? Georgian? Spanish? I don't even know where he's from. I don't see any hype associated with him. He needs to fight more," MMA Fighting quoted McGregor as saying.
