Conor McGregor is not just a fighter; he’s also a business magnate. The UFC star has been absent from the octagon since his bout with Dustin Poirier. UFC 282 proved to be a career-altering event for McGregor, as his leg suffered a complete break and dislocation. The recovery process took a considerable amount of time. After a hiatus of two years, the fighter is now gearing up for a comeback, and his opponent is set to be the formidable “Iron” Michael Chandler.
“Notorious” Conor McGregor may be considering a foray into politics following the recent stabbing attack in Ireland that garnered international attention in the realm of geopolitics. In the aftermath of the incident, McGregor asserted that it is high time for the Irish Republic to have a genuine leader. He stated that he would be willing to step into the political arena if necessary. The fighter, inspired by a surge of patriotism after the stabbing attack, exuded even more fervent nationalistic energy.
UFC Fighter Renato Moicano believes that McGregor has fallen from his prime and is doing whatever possible to stay relevant in the UFC. While having a conversation on his YouTube channel, Moicano said “He wants attention; he wants people talking about him. That’s why I think he got crazy, literally crazy. Too much money, too much power.”
He further added “He thinks of himself not as a fighter; he thinks of himself as something beyond a fighter. Right now, he’s talking about politics and stuff, so I think his mind is still not in the right place. I think he was a great fighter, but nowadays, I don’t know.” Moicano implies that McGregor’s actions might be motivated more by a craving for atten͏tion rather than a sincere passion for fighting. “Mystic Mac” has been trying hard to fight Chandler. However, Daniel Cormier seems to have a different opinion altogether.
