Former UFC champion in two weight classes Conor McGregor shared his opinion on fist fights
The Irish star is co-owner of American promotion Bare Knuckle FC.
"It's the purest form of fighting. There is no simpler form of organized fighting. You can especially feel it live.
Yes, we've taken the UFC to an incredible level that has seen the league sold for $4.2 billion dollars. They say it's now valued at 10 billion! Today, though, that empire is a bit stagnant.
Fist fights get people out of their seats. I understand all types of fights - I've been to MMA, I've been to boxing. But fist fights are on another level. They're an order of magnitude higher than both of those types," MMA Mania quoted McGregor as saying.
