UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was recently asked about 'The Notorious' and his impact on the sport and he came up with the perfect analogy.
“He brings more eyes. I think he’s the anti-hero,” Cormier told TSN.
“He is Stone Cold Steve Austin from 2000. The guy that you’re supposed to kind of root against, but you want to root for.

“Everything that he does before would have gotten people to boo you. But it’s like they’ve taken to it.
“It’s something so different than what they’re used to seeing that people love it. I think it’s fine.”
McGregor's apparent ability to call the shots and simply do what he wants in the UFC is not unlike the storylines that made Stone Cold Steve Austin such a popular figure during the Attitude Era of the WWF.
And we can only dream of the day that McGregor showers UFC president Dana White in Guinness.
