When McGregor beat Alvarez to become a two-division UFC champion, he stunted his own momentum. He did so by leaving the sport for more than a year to pursue a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather. The fight was a huge payday for McGregor. However, it also prevented him from evolving alongside his peers in arguably the deepest division in the sport.

He said, “Let’s say he hadn’t gone and done the [Floyd] Mayweather thing and just strictly stuck to MMA, I think he would have been a dangerous champion and done some damage for a long time
