‘The Notorious One’ stepped away from MMA, much to the surprise and disappointment of fight fans. Chiefly, he cited the inability to acquire the right fights for the right paycheck. The news came at a trying time for the promotion as several high profile names on the roster have also threatened to step away.
A brief history of The Notorious
McGregor’s star power and magnetic personality were evident since his entry into the organization back in 2013. The promotion was quick to invest in the prospect after identifying his ability to become a massive draw. Not to mention, unlike other UFC prospects, he entered as a dual champion from the cage warriors’ promotion.
His ascent to the top would become the story of legends as Conor McGregor began scalping future champions right from the start. Career wins over Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier from his early days helped to bolster his profile as an up-and-coming megastar. Additionally, these early wins have aged immensely well, given the current position of his competitors.
Throughout it all, McGregor kept calling his shot and subsequently exceeding expectations within the UFC. Moreover, his success culminated in actualizing two belts in two different weight classes simultaneously. He’ll also go down as one of the few fighters to transition to boxing for a pay-check that makes heads spin.
As his career enters into the maturation period, fight fans remain wary of every move ‘The Notorious One’ makes. As the UFC schedule trudges along, the general hope is to see the megastar make a return to action.
