In the commotion of the Conor McGregor/UFC dispute that ultimately ended up in a main event-cancelling stand-off, people have drawn sides as to which camp they can most empathize with. Fighters, fans and media have been a little divided on the matter.
Yet McGregor’s fellow European, Swedish light heavyweight Ilir Latifi, tends to side with McGregor, who refused to fly overseas to partake in the UFC 200 promotional tour going on this week.
After all, Latifi entered the UFC at the same time McGregor back in 2013 in Latifi’s native country.
"Me and Conor have a pretty cool history, because he debuted at the card that I was the main event," Latifi said during an in-studio appearance on The MMA Hour on Monday.
