Rousimar Palhares: 'I would kill' Conor McGregor

Former WSOF champ Rousimar Palhares says he'd kill Conor McGregor if he were to ever fight him.

Former WSOF welterweight champion Rousimar Palhares, who is currently serving a two-year suspension given to him last year by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), would be very confident in his abilities if he were to ever fight current UFC champion Conor McGregor.

"I would consider returning to the UFC just to fight [Conor] McGregor," Palhares told the Daily Mail. "I would kill him. He is too small and weak in Jiu-Jitsu to beat me. It would be a privilege to fight him but I would dominate with my ground game and submit him easily.
