The director of ‘McGregor Forever’ spoke about McGregor’s genius mind behind all the chaos he surrounds himself with. Chopra stated that Conor McGregor has a lot of drive for success and excellence. He said, “Despite all of the carnival atmospheres when you’re often around with him, especially in the promotion and preparation of a fight, when he’s training, he’s a mad scientist, a perfectionist.”

Chopra then spoke about the other major athletes he had worked with and found some similar traits within the former ‘champ champ’. He claimed that Conor McGregor was just as invested in his craft as Tom Brady or LeBron James. Gotham Chopra added, “He’s actually very similar to Tom Brady, Steph Curry [and] LeBron James, all these people I have worked with. He’s obsessive.”

The former double champion never stops

Gotham Chopra also spoke about McGregor’s determination to keep going and keep himself occupied. The Irishman never seems to skip even one session of training. He said, “Never been around him [Conor] when he’s like, ‘You know what, guys? I think I have had enough for the day [or] let’s cut this training session short.’ [It’s] quite the opposite.”

The ‘McGregor Forever’ director praised the Irishman for his work ethic and tireless commitment to change for the better. Although he has reached a level of fame that no longer requires him to fight, he is still obsessed with improving himself as a fighter. His achievements speak about his dedication to his craft.
