The UFC superstar, Conor McGregor, rose to his current fame with his antics, trash-talking, and undoubtedly for being a great fighter. McGregor is indeed someone who showed the world how to earn success from your passion. Many young fighters look to ‘The Notorious’ as an inspiration. The current UFC bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling, has always shown massive respect to the Irishman. Now, the 33-year-old is all set to lock horns against Henry Cejudo at UFC 288. Hence, McGregor’s words of wisdom would have inspired the champ.

 Not so long ago, he shared a video of the two of them posing together for a photo. He called them “funktorious”. More recently, ‘Funkmaster’ has shared a video of Conor McGregor giving a very important life lesson on his Instagram story. Sterling agreed one hundred percent with his words. In the video, McGregor talks seriously about his passion for the sport. Moreover, he adds that he cannot think of anything else but MMA.

The words of wisdom from Conor McGregor

The Funk Master shared a video of ‘the Notorious’ posted by ‘Borz Mentality’ to his Instagram story. In the video, McGregor said, “Whatever you do, you have got to be a little bit gone to it. You are not all there, you have got to be almost insane to your craft. Not a lot of people can understand that. That’s why I don’t know about nothing else. I do not pay attention to nothing else. There was games of football on yesterday. There was rugby, there was this, there was that.“

The Irishman further added how he is different from the rest, as he is not aware of other things that go on around him as his focus is completely on MMA. Talking further on the same topic, McGregor said, “And like normal society is like ‘let’s talk about this, let’s engage in this’. I just don’t, I can’t do it. I just don’t know. People are talking to me and in my head, I’m counting something. I’m counting up a number or I’m knee-deep in a sequence on the, at or on the feet. That’s my life. Sequences and numbers. Nothing else. I cannot pay attention to nothing else” 

McGregor’s passion for the sport

It is not the first time a fighter has acknowledged McGregor’s love and passion for the sport. Michael Chandler has talked about the same thing through his Twitter handle. When a user named Curtis Calhoun asked Chandler about the most surprising factor about McGregor, Chandler answered that the Irishman is highly passionate about the sport. He also added that people often forget to give him credit for the same.
