“Yeah, really, he should be treated the same as I was,” ‘Semtex’ said during an appearance on The MMA Hour. "He should be banned for life.
"What he did as a guy with his profile in the sport and for the company of the UFC, he should be banned for life, if, for what I did, I got banned for life.
“But business is business and they need him, and I like Conor McGregor and I respect him, and I respect Dana (White)’s choice. It’s a smart move.”
