The Irishman Conor McGregor is the face of the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. Not only is he one of the most famous athletes in the world, but he is also among the richest. And that is something that has left many mind-boggled.

Now, in a recent conversation, the Irishman’s personal bodyguards have revealed the most important factor that has played the biggest role in getting him to a ‘billionaire’ status, according to them.

Mitchell Atkinson and Ryan Barby, who have been bodyguards to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, even US president Joe Biden along with Conor McGregor, revealed the secret to McGregor’s solid résumé.

“What you see in the media isn’t necessarily how they are as a person,” the bodyguard said. “I always said, ‘Conor, he’s a great actor. Do you know what I mean?”

“The man… There’s no doubt about it, he’s an absolute genius but the Notorious MMA [persona] is very much a character who he plays a lot of the time. He’s a much quieter and he’s, yeah, he’s very quiet and he’s got a personality like an artist where he kind of wears his heart on his sleeve… he’s a phenomenal actor and he’s a genius, you know, notorious MMA is a character who he plays that made him a billionaire within a matter of years,” he continued.
