Conor McGregor’s influence on MMA remains a huge part of his legacy. He made the sport popular throughout the world. Jon Jones, in a recent podcast, praised Conor Mcgregor for his role in popularising MMA. McGregor’s flash and flair enabled him to gain the attention of the casual fans.

Furthermore, Jones also spoke highly of Sean O’Malley, who, according to Jones, has the ingredients to be the next Conor McGregor. O’Malley won the bantamweight title at UFC 292 against Aljamain Sterling. O’Malley is American but has Irish heritage. The Irish identity was what propelled McGregor’s fame, as it had a unique touch.

Jon Jones will return to action at UFC 295 against Stipe Miocic. Jones has already pondered retirement, and the fight against Stipe could potentially be the last time Jones graces the octagon. Nevertheless, he hopes to witness stars like McGregor and O’Malley perform well inside the octagon.
