After Watching the Giant Tribute, Irish UFC Star Conor McGregor Publicly Declares His “Love” for India

Combat sports predate any form of sport in human history. For thousands of years, we have revered fighters and hailed them as superhuman beings. This was evident when the ancient Greek king and one of the greatest fighters of all time, Alexander the Great, was named ‘Lion Among-st Men’. Since UFC’s biggest superstar has been Conor McGregor. It was no surprise when his mural was unveiled in Mumbai.

All great fighters have huge stardom and fan base. Their names are chanted for years to come. Hence, making them virtually immortal. They sacrifice their health and lives for this legacy. To be perceived as the king of the arena, they dedicate their lives to discipline and ultimate sacrifice.

Perhaps that is why these fighters have such a loyal following because most people either want to be like them or look up to them. This has been evident over the years, as fans around the world have always backed their idol. That’s why fans gather to cheer on fighters like Mike Tyson while he was in prison and after.
