Conor McGregor is going through a rough phase in his fighting career. After having suffered a gruesome injury at UFC 264, he is also out of the UFC octagon. However, none of this is stopping the Irish superstar.
Many believe that McGregor is out of his prime now. It is this doubt of theirs that motivates McGregor. Recently, the former champion took to Twitter to share a series of posts to address his haters.
Me and all you pull out merchants are not the same!
You are bitch made and I’m now steel.
This game has just begun. Know that all my enemies are of similar age and experience, and for this reason,
I hereby declare this war forever!

Conor McGregor: Rise or Downfall
‘The Notorious’ (22-6) has competed against some of the greatest fighters in the UFC. Furthermore, the Dublin native has beaten notable fighters like Nate Diaz, Jose Aldo, Dustin Poirier, Max Holloway, and Eddie Alvarez.
Unfortunately, since his defeat against the former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018, McGregor has won only one fight. He is currently on a two-fight skid and many believe that the former two-division champion has had enough in the sport.
However, at present, ‘The Notorious‘, like any other athlete in any other sport, is going through a rough phase. Hence, it is safe to say that the 33-year-old is yet not out of his prime.
