While many are rightfully not pleased with what Conor McGregor did during the UFC 223 media day, there were still those who came to his defense. Some of them are even prominent figures of the sport, such as UFC Hall-of-Famer Bas Rutten.
In a recent interview with Submission Radio, Rutten explained how McGregor could have easily fallen into the trappings of fame and massive success that he is currently enjoying, and at a young age.
“We are not in Conor McGregor’s shoes. You know? People can shout what they want, they have no clue what goes on,” Rutten said.
