MMA Veteran Says UFC Is Fake & Conor McGregor Is A Robot

UFC veteran Cody McKenzie is probably most well known for his eventful run on The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck. He came up with a unique submission variation called ‘The McKenzitine,’ which he’s used to stop 11 of 16 opponents as a pro.

He also famously wore white board shorts with the price tag still attached to them in his last UFC fight against Sam Stout.

Speaking with MMANews.pl, via BloodyElbow.com, McKenzie blasted the UFC and McGregor for being fake and robot-like:

“The sport back in the day used to have cool things going on, now it’s all same old, same old,” McKenzie told MMANews.pl. “I’m one of those old-school guys. As a rebel, they say, I wanna bring back that old-school. I want little guys fighting big guys, I want unorthodox matches, I wanna be able to drink and fight.”

“Who knows where the sport’s gonna go?” he continued. “I’d like it to loosen up a bit. We’re not all pro-basketball players. This is the fight game, let us be fighters! Let us be our own people! I’m sick of robots, I’m sick of the Conor McGregor’s that are walking around, dah dah dah, and everybody buying into it. We’re all fighters. Nate’s the man. Diaz, Nate Diaz! Diaz brothers, what! 209! Yeah the Diaz brothers, I like them, because they are unorthodox, they’re cool, they’re real. I’m sick of this fake sport and everybody buying into the fakeness. I want some realness.”

If you think that’s a nutty interview, here’s McKenzie saying he wants to beat up Dana White:
