That scares you a little bit, if you\u2019re going to compare him to Conor McGregor, obviously his stand up is not as good and not as crisp as Conor McGregor\u2019s. Conor really wasn\u2019t getting hit. But how do you get hit? I think it\u2019s the style, I think it\u2019s an experience, he\u2019s excited, it could be a problem but I\u2019m sure his team is realising the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt\u2019s like a video game &#8211; the next level gets harder, harder, harder.
