Conor McGregor may have a future as an analyst.

Many fighters, past and present, have taken to the breakdown game like ducks to water with Dominick Cruz, Tyron Woodley and Rashad Evans just three who have excelled in the punditry realm.

And ‘The Notorious’ may be setting himself up to follow suit as he wonderfully broke down the famous fight-ending sequence in the 2007 rematch between Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and Chuck Liddell.

‘Rampage’ went 2-0 against the UFC hall-of-famer when he knocked him out in under two minutes at UFC 71.

McGregor explained how the finish materialised and how disappointed he was by the knockout as he was a huge Liddell fan and even met ‘The Iceman’ at an event back in the day.
