Fans react to Conor McGregor and his decade-old tweet
The 35-year-old Dubliner has recently shared the news of him achieving the feat of Blackbelt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu ahead of his potential clash against Michael Chandler. He proudly displayed his BJJ black belt on Instagram which obtained much love from fans. Additionally, he reshared one of his old posts from a decade ago, in which he expressed his Ambitions for the world of MMA. In the tweet, he stated, “I just want two gold belts, a jiu-jitsu blackbelt, a hall of fame plaque, and 25 million in the bank. Is that too much to ask? Gym time!!”. Upon the announcement, fans flocked to the Internet to express their opinion.
The majority of the fans displayed respect towards McGregor and hurled congratulations.
- Say what you want about him, but the man has achieved everything he ever wanted and even beyond.
- Ignoring his run-in with the laws and bathroom stall escapades, Conor’s story is amazing. A perfect storm. Hall of Fame doesn’t do his life justice
- Gotta respect that this dude was talking about his big dreams from the very early start and legitimately manifested them
- It’s honestly a shame how much his “Van Gough” quote became a self-fulfilling prophecy. He really accomplished everything he wanted and now’s a raging lunatic going on liquor/drug-fueled Twitter rants.
- Conceive, believe, achieve
- Crazy that he did pretty much all of it in under 5. Honestly think that speaks to how “legit” his black belt is. People saying he just got handed it then why wouldn’t Kavanagh have just gave it to him years ago? He obviously has been working towards it in secret.
- He changed the game and all you still playing it ahaha
Judging by the fan’s reactions, it becomes apparent that they held McGregor’s unwavering resolve in high esteem, given that he fulfilled every pledge he had made. One enthusiast even went as far as to emphasize that McGregor accomplished all of this within a mere five-year timeframe.
