Conor McGregor Responds to Being Dubbed “The Owner” of UFC by Canelo Alvarez’s Rival

The MMA and boxing industries are closely related to each other. Both being a form of combat sports, many fighters involve themselves in the other sport. Even legendary UFC fighter Conor McGregor had participated in a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather. 

Furthermore, British boxer Billy Joe Saunders did a Q&A session with his fans on Instagram. A fan asked him, “Who do you like watching in the UFC?” And the boxer replied, “The owner @thenotoriousmma”. 

McGregor has been one of the most popular and successful MMA fighters of this era. He has been a big name in this industry and has amassed millions of dollars. Even his boxing debut turned out to be one of the most lucrative fights of all time. Much like Saunders, the entire world likes watching ‘The Notorious’ inside the octagon.

McGregor had previously shared a mocking picture of the British boxer. But as of right now, everything appears to be OK between the two, as even the UFC champion reposted the story on his Instagram.
