Conor McGregor Praises The ‘Mighty’ One

UFC interim featherweight champion Conor McGregor isn’t one to hand out lengthy compliments to other UFC fighters. In fact, the only recent fighter he had decent things to say about seems to be Ronda Rousey.

So when he took to Twitter and sent out three, yes, three tweets about why he loves flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson, the world was a little stunned.

He wasn’t being sarcastic or funny, and he wasn’t trying to in some way promote a fight between the two of them, he was just saying how awesome Mighty Mouse is……..

Yeah, someone should go check on Conor because he’s acting weird.

Check out the tweets!

I LOVE the Mighty one. His entries into the legs, his fence work, his hit and rolls into opposite stance. All beautiful…

…I'd love to see him clean up his shot selection with his kicking game and find his patience when his opponent is backed up on the fence.

Demetrius and Hume are two of the all time great coach and fighter teams there has ever been in this sport.

Or, if you want to be one of those crazy conspiracy theorist, we could wonder if the UFC asked him to send those out in order to try and get more fans to embrace their flyweight champion, who seems to have a hard time earning the fans’ attention. Just saying……
