Conor.... You have actually inspired millions around the globe, and won hearts through your work ethic, confidence, humble attitude in victory or defeat, loyalty to your girlfriend since you were 18, passion towards the mixed martial arts, giving back to your people who helped you reach here today. True, you got strayed away from your path, did quite a lot of things which hurt me, n every single one of those millions, questioned us whether to believe in you or not again, questioned whether you are that good Charming inspiring loyal leader that you once were. We all love you Conor. Win or lose, just don't stray away to become a negative person. Your cocky brash trash talk is good, but you shouldn't hate on the person who has the same goals as you, and now that you have reached your money goals, I hope to see more excellent bouts from you. Always a fan, and thank you for being such a legend. To err is human, but to repeat the same is a habit. Stay positive n stay happy n charged like this Sir ❤️ awaiting your bout on July 10.

Has he? No he hasn't, he just made up his mind, that's what retiring and having hundreds of millions of dollars do to you. He barely defended any of his belts, not to mention he still haven't taken khabibs belt. Chad still waiting to fight him, and he could still do a rematch with nate. He still could go to boxing and actually win against a pro boxer. He just think he's done it all, that's the problem, he clearly hasn't, he just think he does, then you stop doing anything more.

[@jhayd22]

That question got him ayy? In a good way. I like how Connor McGregor gets humbled by that question, like shows great humility? Because you wouldn't usually relate to some megastar in that way, but now I'm looking and thinking about Connor and just relating or understanding how much that means to him, like he got there because he did the things he had to do because of his unyielding or unrelenting reason, his goal. He knew that, and maybe inadvertently figured out that is how you are supposed to live life, identify your situation be aware or become aware of your self and do what you need to do not what you want to do, then subsequently proceed to endure any and every hardship necessary to achieve your what could be phrased as self actualization or what I mean by that is unconditional self acceptance of both their good and more importantly bad parts embracing them then like yin head towards yang, or which ever one represents light, i understand but a quick google click to look that up isn't as fast as ignorance. Anyways I believe Connor Mcgregor achieved his goals and honestly he is so entertaining because of his controversial nature but Connor to a certain extent doesn't care because the only thing important is Connors self worth or level of self acceptance as in the magnetism or charisma from this individual is so radiant that he is able to be so radiant and achieve these levels of success through that process of self acceptance a very honest process which makes sense because so is learning to fight and going through those disciplines of self mastery. Conor accepts himself no matter what and if you say anything against him like you have bad hair..he'll back that up with something witty to defend himself a quick disarment from his own personal belief about himself, conor is the greatest fighter in the world because to conor he believes that he is the greatest fighter in the world. he feels that he is.
