🇮🇪 Here's the thing about Conor guys..
👑 Almost 38-year-old Conor McGregor hasn’t fought in 5 years. He partied, drank a lot, built businesses, had a fourth child, got married. But one thing about the Irishman never changed — just like in his prime, he’s still willing to fight anyone. McGregor even said “yes” to fighting Carlos Prates, but the UFC decided that was too much.
Now Conor takes a massive rematch against one of the greatest strikers in UFC history, Max Holloway. And the roles are completely reversed. 13 years ago, a young Max was thrown to the wolves against a rising McGregor. Now, it’s the aging “Notorious” being sent into danger against a fully evolved Holloway with a cemented legacy.
Even the greatest fighters weighed risks. GSP avoided Romero and Whittaker when he returned at 185. Jones never fought Aspinall. Demetrious Johnson never moved up to bantamweight despite the pressure.
McGregor, despite everything, never backs down. Not in his prime, and not now when he probably needs a tune-up fight first. At the very least, you have to respect him for that. And if he still makes it competitive...
@TheNotoriousMMA They told you that you were in over your head.
They told you that he kicks too hard.
Too many weapons.
They said that the irishman will fall short.
They told you that you don't stand a hope.
It took you 13 seconds. 13 seconds.
It's McGregor forever! Don't you forget it.
