'The Showstopper' has often hailed McGregor as "the best fighter in the world." In an interview with 'The Mac Life', Queally elaborated on how sparring with 'Notorious' has helped him stay calm during big fights:“The confidence that gives me, or anyone in the gym, you’re in there with not just the best lightweight in the world, but the best fighter in the world. You’re in there sparring with him for five rounds and however they go, even if you’re just surviving it, that’s something. That gives me great confidence. My fights are never anything like the spars with Conor. That’s why I stay so calm and that’s why I’ve never been finished in a fight, I’m used to Conor trying to finish me all the time. No man can finish me,” said Peter Queally.
