In an episode of ‘My Mom’s Basement’ podcast, Conor McGregor mentioned that he wants to develop consistency after his next fight. The former UFC champion hasn’t had the best record in his last three fights, having lost two of them. He said, “I hope for 100 fights. I hope for 100 more fights. I’m hoping for consistency. I’m working for consistency.”

He claims that he needs to stabilize his MMA career and hopes to participate in nine consecutive fights. “I’ve been getting this on-off, on-off nonsense for too long. It’s via fight politics, it’s via injuries, via just life, it does happen. It’s God’s plan, it’s all God, so I accept and understand it, but I’m excited and I’m hopeful that I can get a nice consecutive run of bouts,” said McGregor.
