On his Instagram stories, ‘The Notorious‘ shared a clip of rapper and singer, Anuel AA, performing in front of a packed crowd. The duo has a history of showing praise for each other.

Puerto Rican voice Anuel AA even has a song named ‘McGregor’ on his records. With over 31 million views for the video version and 24 for the audio version, the song became an instant hit on YouTube.

Apart from the song dedicated to McGregor and being a friend with Jorge Masvidal, the musician showed his valor when he once ridiculed taking on the hardest hitter in the heavyweight division, the UFC champion himself, Francis Ngannou.

When ‘Gamebred‘ was getting ready to go face to face with ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ Kamaru Usman at UFC 261, the welterweight champion had Francis Ngannou in his corner. And while the two were about to face each other during ceremonial weigh-ins, Anuel AA suggested he would’ve jumped on ‘The Predator‘ if things had gone out of control.
