UFC star Dan Hooker has claimed fighters need to show UFC superstar Conor McGregor "respect" in order to earn a fight with him.
McGregor has returned to training ahead of a comeback to the octagon next year after breaking his leg in defeat by Dustin Poirier last July. It is expected his return will take place in 2023 with the Irishman confirming he is eyeing a return at 170lb.
The UFC superstar has been subject to many call-outs during his time out of action including Jorge Masvidal who has blasted his rival in an attempt to entice him into a huge clash. However UFC contender Hooker believes McGregor will not want to reward a fellow contender with the opportunity to fight if they have tried to start a feud prior to it being agreed.
