Conor McGregor has heaped praise on his former UFC rival Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone after the ex-lightweight title contender was entered into the UFC Hall of Fame.
The Irishman fought Cerrone in what was supposed to be the launch of his octagon comeback in January of 2020, knocking out the legendary American within a minute after a build-up notable for its lack of heated exchanges. McGregor left his trademark trash talk at home when he faced his long-time rival, but brought the fire in the cage as he landed a quick stoppage.
And in a video package that also featured the likes of Michael Bisping, Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier, McGregor was glowing in his praise of his old opponent. The video was played at last night's UFC event in San Antonio, with Cerrone in attendance to witness the tribute that was paid to him in front of a packed arena.
