White compared McGregor to the legendary Ali

UFC CEO Dana White shared his opinion on the promotion's former two-division champion Conor McGregor, comparing him to the legendary Mohammed Ali.

"What can I say about it ... I don't like to compare people to Muhammad Ali because he is the greatest. He reached colossal heights not only in boxing, but as a human being. And he didn't give a shit who or what anybody said about him. So Conor and Ali, they're on the same level in terms of psychological warfare. They're the best in history at it. Ali composed poems about his victories, and Conor calls the rounds when he knocked out his opponent. He makes his opponents play by his own rules, gets inside their heads," White told Flagrant Podcast.
