Little do we know about vulnerable Conor, because that is something he does not like to project out to the world. However, post the Khabib loss, there were rumours that Conor quite’ lost it.’ Following what fans claimed was a drop in motivation, Conor reflected the toll the pressures from being the first double champ to the richest athlete in the world caused him.
One can’t blame Conor’s rhetoric and behaviour as his meteoric rise reflected it. The consequences, however, caught on to him. Mcgregor after six losses in the UFC, became a whisky connoisseur, founded Proper 12, his whisky company, then became Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s co-owner.
However, the beleaguered star, has been under the limelight for repetitive instances of ‘being on hinge’ with an overly expressive nature, accusation of rape, caught on camera kissing random women, and the list goes on. His own fans stated he lost it. Several comments on YouTube repeated a common example of him being ‘high on coke.’ The deprecative humour seems to have finally got the superstar’s attention with him during a recent BKFC post-fight press conference, admitting the pressures of being ‘too successful’.
He stated, “I wouldn’t be the first to tell you, it almost broke me. And to be honest, maybe it did break me as I went on and achieved massive success and global, otherworldly superstardom. It overcame me at times,” he admitted.
McGregor highlighted that fighters, especially those reaching elite levels, face intense scrutiny and pressure that goes beyond the Octagon. “You get these fighters, they come up, and no one cares about you. You rock in under the radar. No one asks you a question. You get to show up and have fun and do your thing, and there’s no stress from the outside world,” McGregor explained.
