The pound-for-pound number 1 is the most coveted spot in the UFC. It is a sign of dominance and ruthlessness inside the octagon. No wonder why most of the fighters aim for the spot. However, getting there is one tough challenge. UFC 284 sees the top two ranked pound-for-pound fighters take on each other in Australia.
Conor McGregor chipped in with his thought ahead of the main event for the lightweight championship. The former double champion had also previously shared a few words of wisdom, if one may call it that, with Alexander Volkanovski regarding the fight. The fighters showed a sign of mutual respect. However, looking at the recent tweets from ‘The Notorious’, it is safe to say that he may be back to what he is known for.
