LAS VEGAS —You might love Conor McGregor, or you might hate him, but everyone has an opinion on the UFC’s biggest star.
The eyes of the mainstream sports world are back on MMA this week, as McGregor, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion, opens the next chapter of his career when he returns to meet Donald Cerrone in the main event of UFC 246.
Ahead of McGregor’s return, we asked fighters to describe the combustible competitor from Ireland in one word. Many of them couldn’t do it in just one word, which underscores just how complex McGregor can be. But even his biggest detractors admit his profile helps raise that of the entire sport.
Watch the video above to see how fighters describe “The Notorious.”
UFC 246 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
