Conor McGregor, due to having a large army of Irish fans supporting him and coming to watch his fights, may have made him a favourite of Dana White. He brought in a lot of money, but he handled the pressure and took on formidable opponents who he defeated. His first crushing lost was against Nate Diaz, and then he won in the rematch. And after defeating Eddie Alvarez, he was then set as a titan. It was not enough, an undefeated behemoth in the likes of Khabib Nurmagedov was next. With all the trash-talking and antics, Conor was defeated by Khabib. Choked out, but not out of the UFC.
The last time a fighter had such an appeal, was Muhammad Ali, but the Irishman has done so, with his flavour, his greatness, his madness. Hate him or love him, it is an undying fact, that the Irishman is the UFC and MMA’s biggest star.
