“For me, Muhammad Ali is a special individual. He is out on his own and I cannot lay claim to something like that. He changed the cultural landscape of the world. So, Muhammad Ali is a special human being. For people to say that, I am honored. But Ali is a special, special man. I am on my own journey and doing what I do best.”

Lorenzo Fertitta recently said that Conor McGregor could be the next Muhammad Ali. (Read that HERE). However, in a new interview with ESPN’s Sports Center, McGregor, though flattered, was not willing to take on that accolade.
