Conor [McGregor]<\/a>, man [I would pick to fight], a lot of people are gonna sit there and be like, \u2018Oh yeah Conor is a boring answer\u2019 but he was in the featherweight division, that era when he was just an absolute superstar.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThe position you could put yourself in just fighting that guy. When you talk about building your platform, when we talk about money and all of that\u2026 The platform you on, you need to take advantage of it and that\u2019s one fast track to getting people to notice you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a good fighter; he was a great fighter. He was another fighter that his accuracy, he was actually a bit ahead of his time, he was really good, I don\u2019t think people give him credit\u2026 He had great timing, great set ups, good understanding of what works and what works for him, and yeah, he was sharp.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of that is gone now he\u2019s probably gonna be reasonably sharp but he\u2019s never gonna be the same Conor McGregor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexander Volkanovski eyes future fight with former UFC featherweight titleholder Alexander Volkanovski is keen on the Lerone Murphy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[34341,64,63,786,82742,39840,785,85,787],"class_list":["post-116960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-alexander-volkanovski","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-jeremy-kennedy","tag-lerone-murphy","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
