Video: Is Conor McGregor the UFC's biggest star? Fellow fighters debate

Is Conor McGregor, who’s still a very tough win away from holding a UFC title, the organization’s biggest star? It’s the question we posed to his fellow fighters.

Barring any complications from the champ’s rib injury, McGregor (17-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) meets long-reigning featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) in UFC 189’s pay-per-view headliner, which takes place July 11 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The stacked event (check out an extended preview below) is one of the year’s biggest cards, and the UFC has already pumped millions of dollars into the promotion.

McGregor has certainly garnered a lion’s share of the spotlight since his arrival in the UFC, but is he the organization’s biggest star – over fighters such as Ronda Rousey, Chris Weidman, Fabricio Werdum and Jon Jones?

Check out the above video as fighters such as Stipe Miocic, Rose Namajunas, Alexander Gustafsson and Jessica Penne discuss.
