But in the world outside Ireland it doesnt stand any chance.

[@mcgrudo]

Remember Cowboy called him out and a couple years later he knocked him out with his shoulder? McGregor is the perfect storm when it comes to promotion in any sport. Even when he was the champ champ he monetized stereotypes surrounding Irish people; "The Fighting Irish" immediately sets him up as a backwards, uneducated underdog despite the reality of his 1st world upbringing on the isle of Ireland and most importantly, his individual talent at his prime. Even leaning on the stereotype of Irish people being drunkards made him rich, selling Whiskey like an NBA player sells sneakers. Stereotypes go a long way in a world of lazy prejudice and nothing in our lifetime will change that. The Irish will always be associated with Alcoholism, Fighting and "working class heroes", or as the Yanks call it, White Trash. McGregor, as talented and shrewd as he clearly was will still seem paradoxically inferior and therein lays the charm of his on screen character. Instead of kowtowing to the pressure of what's expected of the Paddy Irishman, he rode that old slur, "T'is the luck of the Irish" and was almost clairvoyantly cunning by both playing up to that role and also warping it in the US. We won't see the likes of him again in the UFC. McGregor made his own luck

[@aayanescobar4172]

[@sakalaka4153]

Mcgregor is a genius. He was down with a broken leg and still had the presence of mind to set up the next fight. That's not something you learn. It has to be born with. For him, to win the fight is not the goal but a means to an end. His goal is to get rich. And he achieved it magnificently.

Has to do more with the ufcs terrible marketing team. McGregor has money behind him from his friends in Ireland. Who shall remain nameless.

Hey bro, i think you made a little mistake, yes the fight pass is like 7 bucks, and you can see almost all the fights with that pass, but the numbered events (just the main card) are like 60 to 80 bucks, those are the ppv from which McGregor and some other fighters get a percentage which variates depending on the fighter and the deal they made of course , and also, you pay those 80 bucks on top the 7 you pay monthly, nonetheless it was great video, keep it up :)

It's okay that he's lost some fights but his record is concerning. One more MMA loss causes a major problem. He's potentially one fight from never being able to main event an MMA event again. He has lost 4 of his last 7 MMA tilts plus an exhibition boxing match, so 5 of 8 last total combat fights. He's also 33 and there's a saying about MMA fighters- it's make or break at age 30. If you start losing at 30, it's very hard to turn it around. Plus, it's now know he's been suffering from serious arthritis for years and in his ankles to boot... which ruins kicking power.
