It was a terrible scene, and UFC strawweight Michelle Waterson is worried what will happen if it goes unpunished.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at a Thursday media day promoting her Saturday night UFC Glendale clash with Cortney Casey, Waterson explained this worry.<\/p>\n<p id=\"t9UNus\">\u201cWhat concerns me is if nothing happens to him so that he does change his ways, that a lot of the fighters will assume that that\u2019s what they have to do in order to gain popularity, in order to gain fame, in order to gain financial stability,\u201d Waterson said (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2018\/4\/12\/17231548\/michelle-waterson-concerned-about-fighters-emulating-conor-mcgregor-if-nothing-happens-to-him\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting<\/a>). \u201cAnd I\u2019m sure a lot of the fighters will have no problem reverting to those ways.<\/p>\n<p id=\"KSZbJi\">\u201cBut the thing is, we\u2019re trying to make this a professional sport and we\u2019re trying to allow people to see us as humans and as martial artists, because it is mixed martial arts and a lot of us have that martial arts background, and we have the respect and the honor, and we should have the humility and control, right?<\/p>\n<p id=\"2Ed6B2\">\u201cThat\u2019s what martial arts is all about, controlled chaos. And I\u2019ve always looked up to Conor and his ability to control his emotions inside the cage, which is what makes me sad about the whole situation, because I would think that Conor would have the emotional control to figure out a way to use the situation to his benefit in a different way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Michelle Waterson&#8217;s take on the latest Conor McGregor drama?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 4\/12\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend, Conor McGregor and a handful of his cronies unleashed a ridiculous rampage in Brooklyn, New York\u2014the host city for UFC 223.
