However, being a fan of the Irishman, the 33-year-old wants to see McGregor deal with his setback and return to his best.
McGregor, for the first time in his career, has lost two consecutive fights in the UFC, both of them against Dustin Poirier. In his trilogy fight with ‘The Diamond’, the Irish superstar broke his leg in the dying seconds of round one, which will essentially keep him on the sidelines until next year.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA’s John Hyon Ko, Jacoby was asked if he followed McGregor’s recent Twitter feud with Daniel Cormier. ‘The Hanyak’ said he didn’t keep an eye on the story, but acknowledged that McGregor ‘is not in a great spot’.
Jacoby added that he enjoys watching McGregor. The 33-year-old also finds comfort in looking at the Irishman’s stunning Lamborghini yacht.
