Instead of focusing on trash-talking or former boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor has used social media to pump up his fellow UFC fighters.
After the main event of UFC 235 concluded Saturday night, “Notorious” again took to Twitter to offer his thoughts on Jon Jones vs. Anthony Smith.
Jones scored a convincing decision, retaining his title. McGregor was impressed by both the champion and challenger:
That was Spectacular, @JonnyBones! #UFC235

An amazing show of courage and bravery that entire fight. Incredible!
Thank you— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) March 3, 2019
He also offered up this short message:
What a sport.
