Also, what followed afterward, was unprecedented at the time. The UFC superstar did a crossover fight with the boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and held his ground. McGregor represented the boxing aspect of MMA, against, arguably, the greatest boxer in history.
However, when he came back to MMA, he couldn’t find the same success.
In an interview with Severe MMA, ‘The Notorious’ believes he still has a lot to show. Thus, when asked if he just hopes to compete more frequently, he said, “You’re damn right. I just want to compete. I know that I don’t get to prove that I am that man, I’m the double champ.”
“Bro, I went to the different sport, I came back. You know what I mean. I know that I don’t get to prove that, I know that. So, it’s just about getting back in competing; Getting myself, into pristine condition and going in and enjoying myself, putting on a show for the fans, you know what I mean, that’s it.”
