Matt Brown respects Conor McGregor’s past accomplishments ‘but at this point he’s a bum’

Matt Brown’s opinion of the biggest star the MMA world has ever seen has dwindled in recent years.

Speaking on Michael Bisping’s YouTube channel, the UFC veteran Brown (24-19 MMA, 17-13 UFC) had some harsh words for Conor McGregor. Brown recognizes the heights McGregor has reached, but is confident in stating his best is now in the past – and perhaps by McGregor’s own doing.

Brown suggested a fight between the two and response, and McGregor replied, calling his shot a “woeful attempt.”
