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”.

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”

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.
