Conor McGregor compared to Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady ahead of UFC return fight

Conor McGregor's fighting attitude has been compared to NBA legend Kobe Bryant and NFL star Tom Brady ahead of his UFC return.

UFC superstar McGregor has been out of action for two years after back-to-back defeats against Dustin Poirier, but will finally return in 2023 in a comeback fight against Michael Chandler. The Irishman will be looking to reverse his recent form in the octagon having recorded just one win in his last four appearances.

Throughout his career, he has broken records and continued to fight at the top level despite critics continuing to question whether his desire for fighting remains. And director of his upcoming Netflix documentary McGregor Forever, Gotham Chopra, suggested that he has seen McGregor's spirit up close despite achieving huge fame and fortune from his fighting career.
