Conor McGregor is undoubtedly one of the most known names in the world of MMA. McGregor started off as a ‘Cage Warriors’ fighter, where he went on to become a two-weight division champion for the first time. He repeated his superb feat in the biggest MMA promotion, the UFC as well. McGregor is often known for audacious behavior outside the Octagon.

Clark made his MMA debut recently and shook up the world with a unanimous decision victory over his opponent. His awesome achievement was extolled by numerous fight fans all over the globe, which also included ‘The Notorious’. Following his win, Clark was interviewed by TMZ sports host, Dean Muhtadi, where he talked about how he felt about being congratulated by ‘Mystic Mac’ himself.
