Nothing on God's green earth is more dangerous than a motivated and focused Conor McGregor. Hands of stone, chin of granite, and balls of steel. On top of that he has all of the intangibles: charismatic and funny, ripped and chiseled physique, and a smile that will absolutely melt your heart. This is his comeback arc. This is where the fire is reignited. This is where he silences the doubters once and for all. In a sport full of sheep and Dagestanis that worship a false prophet, Conor McGregor stands alone as the one true alpha lion. One fear any man standing in the way of Conor and his destiny.
