WHEN CONOR McGREGOR mentions other UFC fighters, it’s usually to discuss how inferior they are to the Dublin featherweight.
But there are some exceptions, and UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is certainly one of them.
The undefeated Rousey is MMA’s most dominant athlete and took just 14 seconds to see off Cat Zingano in their UFC 184 headliner in Los Angeles last weekend.
Speaking to MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani at a launch event for his new sponsor Reebok, McGregor said: “Ronda is an absolute machine. She is phenomenal.
“Honestly, I’m probably her biggest fan. The way she’s able to handle everything, the way she comes out and does her game… she is unbelievable.
“And Cat as well. I don’t knock Cat for this. She will be back and I said to Lorenzo (Fertitta, UFC CEO) after the fight, I’d love to see that again.”
