Conor McGregor Reveals the Reason Behind His “Notorious” Entrance Music

Conor McGregor recently featured in an interview post his promotional advertisement for Reebok. He spoke at length about various aspects revolving around his professional life.

Conor revealed the various reasons behind why he is called “The Notorious”. Of course, we all know his dynamic personality and a few added traits that come along with it are the main reasons. He revealed that his coach actually played a huge role in the naming. McGregor said, “My coach called me that back in the day. He saved my name in his phone as ‘trouble’.”

But that is not all. McGregor also stated that he is a huge fan of The Notorious B.I.G. Songs by the infamous rapper are often heard as part of Mcgregor’s entrance themes. Elaborating on the same, he said, “I’m a big fan of the Notorious B.I.G. I’ve gone through a lot (of his songs).”

McGregor stated that for his entrance songs, he always chooses songs by Sinead O’Connor and Biggie. While the Irish ballad singer helps McGregor reach his inner warrior, Biggie’s music helps him calm down and relax his muscles before the fight.

This truly shows just how serious a fighter Conor is. Ranging from his extensive training routine to decoding his entrance music, he ensures that everything about his preparation is picture-perfect. Thus, when he steps into the octagon, he is mentally and physically prepared for whatever lies ahead.
