UFC Hall of Famer highlights "mistake" in Conor McGregor's presidential bid

A week ago, Conor McGregor stood in front of the Government Buildings in Dublin and delivered a speech to the citizens of Ireland. He reiterated his commitment to working for the welfare of the people, among other topics.

In a video on his YouTube channel, UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen shared his thoughts on McGregor's speech and pointed out a "mistake" he made:

"He's not done a half-bad job, but he did make a mistake on this one that I saw. [McGregor] says, 'I will not pass any bill through without sending it back to the people.' And there is always a mistake made in business [is to] let people have it their way and to let people have options... It's a big mistake in politics, it's a big mistake to think that the people are paying attention..." [3:20 of the video]

He added:

"If you're going to be the president, you've got to be the boss... This is not going to be a group thought. The one time we're going to do group thought is in the vote." [5:24 of the video]
