Former Prime Minister Uncle Tony X has today made the bold claim that neither Conor McGregor or Khabib Nurmagomedov would be able to last more than a couple rounds with his deadly brother Anthony ‘Choc’ Mundine.
This comes as MMA megastar McGregor makes a return after a near-two year absence as he takes on on lightweight champion Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 today.
McGregor will attempt to regain one of his two UFC titles in the main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, following an unsuccessful bid to take down Floyd Mayweather as a boxer last year.
However, the newly-appointed Special Envoy to Indigenous Affairs says while he acknowledges the natural talent in both fighters today, they don’t have a lick of the natural prowess that The Man has.
While his new Islander girlfriend and her family members insist that Tai Tuivasa or Mark Hunt would be able to take all of them, including Choc – Uncle Tony X refuses to acknowledge their blatant disrespect for the concept of weight divisions.
Despite new family ties to the Pacific Islander community, the Member For Warringah finds himself unable to even acknowledge that there could be any fighter in the world better than Mundine – after a whirlwind five weeks that has seen him rapidly transform into a radical black nationalist, enter the NSW prison system and convert to Islam, hook up with a nesian girl from Griffith at the Koori Knock Out – ever since he gave a conditional yes to taking on the job of the Federal Government’s Indigenous envoy.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison did not ask Uncle Tony to be a minister in his new Government, but instead asked him to take on the role of envoy, citing his close association with Aboriginal Australia after growing up in a six bedroom mansion in Sydney’s Northern Beaches and working for the Liberal Party for nearly three decades.
As UFC 229 takes place, Uncle Tony X appears to be getting louder and louder about how he’d like to see a fight between Choc and both Mcgregor and Khabib, and that Choc could probably fight them both at once, with only one hand.
