It marks a remarkable latest chapter for McGregor, who previously headlined a super-bantamweight title challenge against Erik Robles Ayala at Edinburgh's Meadowbank Stadium.

His last fight saw him take to the ring at a hotel in Glasgow, and Jones believes his route to the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh this weekend will make him all the more dangerous.

"He’s such a fantastic pressure fighter," he said on DAZN's broadcast of the Open Workouts. "He’s always been massive for his weight, and he boxes beyond.

"He’s got a great boxing brain as well. He’ll cope with everything really well. He wants to be on these big bills. Don’t forget, this is a guy who has headlined shows in Scotland

"[He has] boxed around the world. He had to go back down and box in hotels just to get the opportunity to come here. He’s taken his ego out of his pocket.

"He’s had to humble himself. This is a hungry fighter, not one who thinks he deserves the right to be here.

"He’s had to work his way back up. He’s a real talent and a real problem for Isaac Lowe."
