Former UFC two-weight champion Daniel Cormier explained the difference between Paddy Pimblett and former two-division league champion Conor McGregor.
Pimblett is a star and, frankly, he's the first since McGregor to be so warmly received by the public. The difference is that Conor won at championship level.
