MMA icon Jon Jones immediately rules out Conor McGregor’s possibilities of beating one UFC star contained in the octagon

MMA legend Jon Jones didn’t hesitate to drop his honest verdict on Conor McGregor coming up against one current UFC fighter within the octagon.

Conor McGregor has now been sidelined with an injury after the 38-year-old Irishman suffered one other major setback in his UFC fighting profession.

The ‘Notorious’ made his long-awaited MMA comeback in July after a five-year hiatus and suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee at UFC 329 in Las Vegas.

McGregor was unable to see out the primary round against Max Holloway and the Irish MMA superstar suffered a TKO loss as a consequence of his injury on the T-Mobile Arena.

Jon Jones asked for a prediction on an enormous mega-fight between Conor McGregor and Ilia Topuria

Conor McGregor underwent surgery on his torn ACL and meniscus injury and the UFC legend has hinted at his desire to return to the octagon in the longer term.

The long run UFC Hall of Famer has now lost 4 of his last five fights in Dana White’s MMA promotion, including back-to-back defeats to Dustin Poirier.

McGregor’s last win within the UFC got here in 2020 after the previous dual champion chalked up a shocking first-round TKO victory over Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 in Las Vegas.

Jon Jones admitted that he couldn’t see the ‘Notorious’ overcoming former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Ilia Topuria if a fight ever materialized.

ALF Global’s Alfredo Auditore asked: “Topuria [vs] Conor?”

Jones then responded: “Ilia.”

Ilia Topuria has opened the door for a UFC fight with Conor McGregor before

Ilia Topuria suffered a significant setback in his UFC profession after Justin Gaethje handed him the primary MMA defeat of his skilled fighting profession last month.

The 29-year-old UFC star had previously suggested that an encounter with McGregor could occur if the Irishman had beaten Max Holloway at UFC 329.

“It’s not on my radar, but when I get offered that fight, we’ll see where Conor goes to be at that time,” Topuria told The Ariel Helwani Show in April.

“If he gets a win, a terrific comeback, he wins his next fight and I get offered that fight, we’ll see.

“I never close the door for those sorts of opportunities, even when we are usually not on the identical level right away.”

Topuria lost the UFC lightweight title after he suffered a fourth-round TKO corner stoppage by the hands of Justin Gaethje on the White House for UFC Freedom 250.
