His skills in the ring
He is quick and relentless. And until Nate Diaz, there really hasn’t been an opponent who can figure him out. He is a 5’9” 170-pound dynamo. Add to the fact it isn’t just fighting that makes him such a solid competitor. McGregor is a specialist in Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Capoeira, Boxing, and Karate.
I have trouble just saying some of those mediums let alone being able to compete in them. This also makes it harder for opponents to train for him. Yes, others may have their own type of training and experience, but put it all together and he is special.

He’s precise in his striking, has power in his hands, and most of all has a chin that can withstand some heavy punishment. Although his ground game isn’t that up to the mark, he’s improved leaps and bounds.
He’s a man who walks the talk and delivers the goods once the cage door is shut. He masterfully outpointed Nate Diaz in their much-anticipated rematch which speaks volumes of the man and his ability. Even more noteworthy is that he’s ready to learn and that was there for everyone to see.
