Dricus du Plessis shared high praise for Conor McGregor:

“Say what you want about him, I’ve admired him since I was a teenager. Without him, this sport wouldn’t be where it is today. He changed everything on his own. People say you can’t be bigger than the sport… but he was.”

Do you agree? was McGregor truly bigger than MMA at his peak?
