UFC Megastar Conor McGregor Has One Thing in Common With Elvis Presley, Sir Michael Caine, Ozzy Osbourne, and Joe Cocker

Conor McGregor, the former UFC two-division champion, is one of the biggest stars in the history of MMA and is enlisted among the highest-paid athletes on the planet.

However, the Irishman didn’t have an easy route to this stardom and wealth. He was working stiff during his initial days in Dublin. The former two-weight UFC champion was an ordinary plumber before he decided to turn his routes to MMA.

With all his life’s dedication and hard work, McGregor rose from the streets of Dublin to one of the greatest platforms of MMA in the world, UFC. He was unstoppable in the promotion and reached the highest glory by becoming the double champion of the UFC.

‘The Notorious’ isn’t the only celebrity who has worked stiff before becoming a global phenomenon. Everyone had their own path to success. However, McGregor’s path to glory is similar to the likes of international stars, including Elvis Presley, Sir Michael Caine, Ozzy Osbourne, and Joe Cocker.

According to the reports, one of the many things common between the aforementioned names and McGregor is that they have all worked as plumbers or electricians during their initial stages.
