Conor McGregor, an Irish fighter of mixed martial arts, shared his opinion about the Russian forward of the National Hockey League (NHL) club Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin.


“Look, what a huge fist Ovechkin has, this is a huge right Russian man. He is a very famous Russian hockey player. In fact, he stands for Washington in the United States. But this is an absolutely phenomenal person and player. Look at his smile - there are no teeth there, which often happens with hockey players. My fist is probably bigger, but he also has a big one, ”said MacGregor on the evening Urgant program.

The Irishman also added that he considers the Russians to be honest and hardworking people.

Earlier it was reported that a bottle was thrown at McGregor in a Moscow hotel.
