“You Cannot Fully Commit to Something if You’re Not Passionate”- Conor McGregor Opens Up on UFC Career

Conor McGregor is a rare breed. Hearing him talk is enough to give you an adrenaline rush as you feel his self-confidence transfer over to you! He is a staunch believer in his art, which has given him so much success. The power in his words comes from the action that he delivers – a true doer!

His interview with established American author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins reflects the same. ‘The Notorious’ might have officially retired, but not one person is ready to believe that. Everyone wants him back in the UFC Octagon. 

What makes Conor McGregor so successful?

One answer – work ethics. He is a self-made, self-motivated man who settles for nothing less than what he deserves. The secret sauce to his success is the way he views hard work. He says, “What got me to where I am and where I continue to go and where I will continue to go is an insane work ethic and it’s an insane work ethic that can only put in that amount of work.”

Apart from endorsing brands that get him millions in deals, he is a big believer in passion. Conor has an innate ability to follow his passion above everything else. The Irish MMA artist recognizes this superpower in him when he says, “You cannot fully commit to something if you’re not passionate about it. You must look at your surroundings at the things you were involved in and ask yourself: are you truly passionate about these things that you truly want to put every ounce of your being into these things.”

His speed is unmatchable, making him invincible!

After he lost to Nate Diaz in UFC 196, McGregor came back to defeat him in UFC 202. Loss ignites in him a hunger to up his game. Perhaps the reason he left the game was that it wasn’t exciting for him anymore. There has been a lot of talk of Conor making a comeback, but this is something he is still keeping secret.

Till we know for sure, this quote by him might give you hope in the meantime – “I’m going down there at 100 miles an hour with no breaks and full confidence in what lies ahead and great things are happening. I’m very very blessed and pretty motivated.”

At the end, he talked about his mediocre childhood in a working-class hometown saying, “It has its good, and it has plenty of bad but I always like to focus on the good because the good shine is true but where I come from we’re not supposed to climb to these heights we are told that, it’s instilled in us and I wanted to break that mold, pave the way, open up. Put it in, you believe in it, you will succeed.”

That is a ton of inspiration packed in one small video – may we all have Conor’s spirit to succeed!
