Rowdy, philosophical, funny and engaging, UFC’s undisputed featherweight champion, Conor McGregor, the “Infamous,” is a quiet fighter who leaves his audience dazed with his high standards and rowdy demeanor. However, you never get enough and keep coming back for more. His apparent confidence and ability to accurately predict the outcome of his fights never ceases to amaze people. What some consider rare psychic abilities is increased insight that comes from an absolute commitment to one’s craft.

Stand out from the crowd

In part, Conor justifies his nonstop victories by developing a constant and inquisitive fascination with self-defense. He claims to have battles on his mind 24/7, showing various ways to hone his movement. When confronted with the possibility of an unhealthy obsession, he replies that unhealthy people go through the same 9 to 5 routines every day. Since he wants to earn a lot of money doing what he loves, he never has to suffer from the unwanted routine in his life again.

Success becomes inevitable when your motivation is rooted deep in the unshakable ground of what can only be defined as a true sense of self. McGregor’s personality may be unique, but some of the traits that define him are worth emulating because they enrich his life in a way that doesn’t distract him from anything or anyone who wants to be anywhere other than he is at the moment Life.

Take the time to find your passion

Some people are lucky enough to figure out early on what they want to do with the rest of their lives. But many of us waver between many uncertain interests. However, it’s definitely worth continuing to speculate until we stumble upon something that occupies us until we lose track of time. Separating our minds from the burden of expectations and recommendations and building a life that captivates us is likely to lay a solid foundation for a life path that is not only unique but guarantees success.

As a child, McGregor started playing soccer. But as much as he loved to play, he couldn’t take the sport seriously enough to give it the time and effort put into it by some of the other boys in Britain. Growing up in the Dublin suburbs where boys often fought, Conor became obsessed with making sure his ability to physically protect himself was kept up to date. By the time he turned sixteen, he was spending his free time wrestling on the concrete floor with now-UFC fighter Tom Egan.

It takes terrible misery to understand absolute high spirits!

Immediately after school, Conor’s father let him take a plumbing apprenticeship to set up a “safe” future. After eighteen months of fourteen hour work and a long commute, Conor decided to give up everything to learn kickboxing. With the sole motive that fighting was all he wanted to learn and still no clarity to justify a possible career, an amateur fight win in Dublin 2007 spelled out his intention to become a full-time cage fighter from 2008 onwards Whether it’s boxing, jiu-jitsu or any other martial arts, it was only a matter of time before his reputation was within reach of UFC President Dana White to offer him a contract.

The many benefits of a demanding physical workout

McGregor insists that learning mixed martial arts sharpens your instincts to conquer just about any professional discipline. In this day and age of hyper-connectivity, where thoughts of comparisons to the rest of the world are constantly raised, it’s exactly what everyone needs to get back to high efficiency and productivity.

In fact, Conor McGregor himself claims he was born without talent. His obsession with mixed martial arts led him to put in the hard work necessary to emerge victorious. Insisting that exercise is the best form of medication, the following are just a few examples of how staying in peak physical condition has refined one’s life.

He has razor-sharp instincts that ensure constant progress

• Wake up, drink water, stretch and loosen up. Conor’s daily habits almost end there. From there, his impulses decide whether it’s time for yoga, weightlifting, or a class of taekwondo, jiu-jitsu, capoeira, or boxing. He doesn’t stick to any schedule.

Similar tendencies guide his eating habits, where in terms of performance he consumes the most greens, quality meats like salmon, chicken and steak, and limits himself to plant-based carbohydrates like butternut squash and sweet potato.

Due to his willingness to adapt, he feels safe even in nerve-wracking situations

• Isolated game plans and strategies can fail. Extensive knowledge built with discipline and regularly augmented by overcoming various challenges is not possible.

Conor frequently sustains injuries, but has never used them to withdraw from a planned fight. He tore his anterior cruciate ligament during a fight with Max Holloway and Chad Mendes, but he just readjusted his offense to keep fighting from a stronger position and still win!

He claims to have “bulletproof” mental toughness

• Tap into the knowledge Conor has gleanedChallenging the status quo and having faith in the hard work he’s putting into his preparation, McGregor hasn’t felt any fear in the octagon so far. He loves to offer criticism and admiration without being influenced by them.

His curiosity and repeated reassessment of efficient movement by dabbling in new disciplines not only enhances his versatility as a fighter, but also gives him the insight to accurately read and predict the body language of all his challengers.

Rather than resorting to high-intensity boot camp that led to his featherweight championship fight in UFC 194, he enlisted movement specialist Ida Portal alongside Jose Aldo to work on flexibility and balance.

His new octagon twists are odd enough to confuse his opponents and give him just enough time to land a knockout round win.

Come 2016, Conor McGregor, “The Notorious” isn’t done. He intends to conquer the next “lightweight” division in the higher weight class. Check out McGregor’s personality in the video below, which recaps how he bullied the government of featherweight world champion Jose Aldo into fighting for the fastest UFC title at 13 seconds.
