“I think I go out there and put two beautiful performances together, I will be as big as Conor. The UFC’s grown 40, 50% since Conor really was in his prime. That COVID really boosted the UFC, so I have a lot more eyeballs, a lot more opportunity to become, you know, more of a star. When I say stuff like that, people are always like, ‘Oh, you’re a wannabe Conor.’ He’s the biggest star in combat sports, of course, I would want to be as big as him.”
