UFC star and former dual-weight world champion, Conor McGregor is leading a life most can only dream of. The Irish mixed martial artist started his career working odds jobs, while still making headways in the world of combat sports. His transition into the UFC gave him the impetus that stamped his name as one of the global superstars. Similarly, former UFC fighter, Paige VanZant has also managed to climb the ladder of success and is popular worldwide.
Unlike McGregor, VanZant failed to accomplish her goal of becoming a UFC champion, but it hasn’t deterred her one bit. She took her talents away from the MMA promotion and signed lucrative deals with BKFC and AEW.

The Instagram post stated shared by VanZant stated, “you can choose courage or you can choose comfort, but you cannot choose both.” To this McGregor responded with a simple “I can.”

McGregor’s tongue-in-cheek remark got swept under the rug, but it indeed has some truth to it. The mixed martial artist indeed saw a similar start, like everyone else, but his star power and unmatched charisma saw him attain superstardom. The Superstar is comfortably sitting at the top as one of the wealthiest fighters and continues to grow his empire.
Conor McGregor paved the way for the cross-sports super-fights
McGregor’s bid to fight, Floyd Mayweather, and ultimately turning it into reality in 2017, truly changed the sport of MMA. Prior to this, no other UFC champion had ever transitioned away from MMA, let alone fought a professional boxer. This move has opened the floodgates for other champions like Kamaru Usman, and Francis Ngannou, to chase similar super fights.
