The Notorious Conor McGregor has built up his upcoming fight against Jose Aldo like a Wrestle Mania match, so it’s no surprise the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took notice.
“What I love about Conor is the same thing I love, by the way, about Aldo, with Aldo there’s a quiet confidence and with Conor the confidence is not quiet,” Johnson said. “It reminds me of how I was in the WWE.”
“I was bold and talking sh-t and there was nothing I wouldn’t say. Obviously in WWE it’s a work and it’s not real and we knew who was going to win and lose but I would do everything I could just in terms of what could I do to create interest. Conor’s a smart guy like that. He creates great interest.”
Even the promo for UFC 189 looks like something off of Monday Night Raw.
This’ll be the biggest fight of the year for the UFC and it’s mainly because of McGregor’s ability to create controversy outside of the octagon. He’s the monster heel that the promotion needs.
