FILE - In this combination of 2018 file photos Michigan defensive lineman Chase Winovich, left, reacts after a play during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Michigan State , on Oct. 20, 2018, in East Lansing, Mich., and at right, Conor McGregor reacts after losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov in a lightweight title mixed martial arts bout at UFC 229 in Las Vegas, on Oct. 6, 2018. Winovich chose to stay in college to chase championships and improve his standing for the NFL draft. No. 5 Michigan has a path to a Big Ten title and the defensive end appears to be improving his stock for the pros. Winovich is also having a lot of fun along the way and is trying to live life like UFC star McGregor, who he calls a big brother.
