Demetrious Johnson took some time to talk about Conor McGregor's rising star, his popular personality, and why McGregor wouldn't have laid a hand on his title belt.
If there were ever two figures on the opposite ends of a spectrum, it's flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson and featherweight title contender Conor McGregor. McGregor shot up the UFC ranks quickly with his flashy striking style and constant stream of out of the cage trash talk. He's made himself one of the UFC's most marketable name fighters, all without holding a belt. Demetrious Johnson has been with the UFC for five years now, and champion for the last 3, all while remaining a relatively unattended figure for the viewing public.
