LOS ANGELES - Mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor returns to the Octagon after a 15-month absence seeking - he says - to leave controversy behind him.
"It's hard not to respect Donald," McGregor said of the 36-year-old American, who boasts a record of 36 wins, 13 losses and holds the record for the number of knockouts in the Ultimate Fighting Championship - where victories are often won by submission and decision. "He's a good fighter," McGregor said."But I can read Donald like a children's book. I know his moves and I know what he's planning. I have the advantage of speed, I'm well prepared, there's no one to touch me."Since then, McGregor has been battered into submission by arch-rival Khabib Nurmagomedov in a contest that was marred by a massive brawl at ringside and been knocked out by boxing great Floyd Mayweather in a cross-combat superfight in Vegas in 2017.
