Russian mixed martial arts fighter Magomed Ismailov shared his opinion on former UFC champion Conor McGregor.
"I liked Conor in the beginning. Colorful personality. Goes into the cage unusually, moves confidently. I think, "Whoa! What a guy!?" I recognized him when he came out to fight Diego Brandao. Made his moves, got in the cage, knocked him out, the crowd there went wild...
"But he's the kind of person who has made some mistakes against other people. And those mistakes are repulsive. But if you look at the other side, he's a family man, he has a wife, kids. She was with him on dry rations when he had nothing to eat when he was working as a plumber. And she's still with him. Like any man, his life can be divided into bad moments and good moments. Conor is a big personality for MMA, but I can't say that I'm attracted to him like I am to Mohamed Ali, for example, who went outside the sport. That's not how I can say it, there are a lot of questions for Conor in that regard," Ismailov said.
