Longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan opined that the former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor you need to conduct a warm-up fight after a long layoff associated with recovery from a broken leg.
“If you look at the situation from a long-term career point of view, I would like to see a warm-up fight, one hundred percent. I wouldn’t want him to immediately contact Makhachev. If I were his coach, I would suggest that he meet a fighter outside the top 15.
Let's find a guy we can beat and it'll be a great test. We'll call it a warm-up fight and the guy will have a chance to beat Conor McGregor. And Conor will have the opportunity to test his skills and feel the pressure of the arena. Do this, and in six months you’ll get a big fight,” Rogan said on his podcast.
Let us remind you that McGregor previously said that he could return to the Octagon in the spring.
