It won’t be wrong to say that the level of excitement and anticipation that McGregor creates is on par with some of the greatest combat sports athletes the world has ever seen. So it wasn’t surprising to see Dana White compare McGregor to the former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.
“There’s this buzz and energy around a McGregor fight that reminds you of Tyson’s days. You know, he is at a level of Tyson, Holyfield, De La Hoya when they were on top and the list goes on. He is one of the all-time moneymakers for Vegas.”
