‘The Notorious‘ Conor McGregor has surprised his fans by breaking character and showing a more humble side. The former UFC double division champion is famous for his notorious personality and abrasive attitude, so seeing him be respectful is a rare occurrence. Despite his reputation, fans are praising his recent tweet about UFC 284.
Before the main event at UFC 284, McGregor sent out a tweet that mocked both Alexander Volkanovski and Islam Makhachev. But Makhachev wasn’t going to take it lying down – he hit back after the fight. This kind of trash-talking is typical behavior from McGregor, who is known for his brash and confident personality.
However, what sets McGregor apart is his ability to switch up his demeanor at any moment. Fans and fighters never know what to expect from him. This unpredictability is what makes McGregor such an exciting figure in the world of the UFC. Moreover, it’s part of what has made him one of the most successful and well-known fighters in the sport’s history.

‘Mystic Mac’ is not known for being humble. Since joining the UFC, he has been at the center of numerous conflicts and exchanges with fighters from all divisions. A decade ago, McGregor explained why humility is not one of his defining traits, as reported by MMA Mania.
He stated, “I try so hard to be humble, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph know how hard I tried to be humble. But then I look around the division, the top 10, and it’s impossible to be humble.” McGregor’s confidence was evident in these words. He felt he could compete with any fighter in the division and that he was more than capable of doing so.
McGregor shared how he saw many inexperienced fighters in the top 10 of the division. He just saw rookies everywhere and couldn’t wait to get back in there to prove what he already knew. Despite his lack of humility, McGregor’s drive and determination have made him one of the most successful and recognizable fighters in the UFC.
