Sityodtong: ‘If McGregor was a free agent, ONE Championship wouldn’t sign him’

Sityodtong, the founder of ONE Championship, UFC’s mixed martial art equivalent in Asia, says he would not hire McGregor.

If Conor McGregor was a free agent, ONE Championship would not try to sign him…We don’t want somebody to swear at people, throw water bottles, disrespect people, call out people’s wives and children, and — in my opinion — other distasteful stuff that is not representative of true martial arts. We have heroes like Angela Lee, who is pound-for-pound one of the best female world champions on the planet. But yet she is humble, she is kind, she’s sweet.
