It’s not every day Conor McGregor gives props to other fighters. Usually, he’s out here roasting everybody in sight. Regardless, it’s cool to see this side of McGregor for once. Especially for Zion Clark who is starting to make a name for himself in his own right. Here is a quick glimpse of Clark’s debut in the cage.

Not only did he participate in an MMA fight, but Clark won the bout by unanimous decision. No wonder he caught Conor McGregor’s attention.

We’ll see what’s in store for Zion Clark down the road. He’s likely to take on another fight in the octagon which should be as equally exciting. Meanwhile, we still await Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC.
