'You're great ... No, you're great .... No, you're great ... We're both great...'
Upon hearing Conor McGregor's words of praise for her, Ronda Rousey has returned the favour by saying she is enjoying how The Notorious has developed as a fighter and as a man since he joined the UFC.
McGregor told media a couple of weeks ago that he takes 'great inspiration from Ronda and her work ethic.' So how does Rousey feel about him?
Conor, it's been a real joy watching him progress and mature as, not just as a fighter, but as a man. I've seen him grow a lot and I have been very encouraged by what I have seen. I couldn't be happier for him and the company for winning [the title]. I really appreciate the respect he has shown me and it's definitely mutual.
It would have been a lot more entertaining if one them had called the other an eejit but sure what can you do?
