UFC welterweight division has only witnessed Conor McGregor thrice in the UFC. Yet from the champion to top UFC contenders, everyone has a thing or two to say about ‘The Notorious’.

Burns is usually active on his Twitter and shares his opinions on various MMA-related stuff. And with McGregor confirming his return to the welterweight division, the welterweight’s return is justified.

The highest-paid UFC athlete has already achieved everything he wanted in the promotion. And one man that was there to witness the highs and lows of ‘The Notorious’ – UFC President Dana White, who recently suggested why he loved the Irish star.
