Legendary Actor, fight fan, and minority owner of UFC Sylvester Stallone is seriously concerned with the trajectory for troubled UFC star Conor McGregor after his latest arrest according to an interview with tmz.com.
“This is a crossroad in his life,” Stallone told us in Beverly Hills … referring to both the arrest AND the fact he’s coming off a huge loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
“If he can’t overcome his fear and beat this man, I think it’ll plague him for the rest of his life.”
Stallone feels that McGregor should use all the trials in his life as a means of motivation as Stallone has himself gone through tough times in his career, then says this about McGregors loss to Khabib.
“I think [Conor] lost last time because he got resentful, he got prideful, he got arrogant … put his hands down … he walked right up to that gentleman and he just got smashed in the face when he could have been defensive. There was no Plan B. Not even a Plan A minus.”
Stallone says he REALLY wants to see a rematch between the “two UFC Gods” — adding, “I wanna see a guy that leaves everything on the table.”
Stallone hopes to see a rematch between the two fighters at some point, but first McGregor needs to take care of his legal issues and get a positive hold on life outside the octagon. Flip below to see the interview with Stallone and follow me on the Twitter @SBReports706.
