ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER HAS already shown he’s a big fan of Conor McGregor but, ahead of UFC 189 on 11 July, the Terminator star has made it clear just how much he loves the Irish fighter.
“Conor is one of the greatest athletes probably of all time. He has the right combination of the mind and the body and the talent. The two are connected so well with him, which I think is so important in athletics, that you believe 100% in your victory.”
And, ahead of the new Terminator Genisys movie, the actor also defended McGregor’s reputation as a loud mouth, saying he backed it up in the octagon.
“He reminds of me a little bit of the way I always was when I grew up in bodybuilding. The only way you get noticed was if you say outrageous things, and he does that to get noticed.
“And because of that, because he’s a great fighter and because of his personality, he is now becoming the hottest ticket. His fights will be sold out everywhere and he will have the highest viewership.”
