He knows what it takes to reach the top

In most of the success stories, one thing remains common – a humble beginning. Conor too had one such humble beginning. Like many European kids, Conor initially dreamed of becoming a soccer player. But the bullying drove him towards a different career and he soon became a boxer before venturing into MMA.

The interesting fact about McGregor is that he had been a plumber in his life too. After he stopped boxing and before he ventured into MMA, McGregor had a brief career in the field of plumbing. Once he started his MMA career, he left plumbing to concentrate on his fighting despite his father’s heavy protests. No one can say that McGregor has been handed his opportunity. He has earned it with sweat and blood.
