12 listopada 2016 roku Conor McGregor znokautował Eddiego Alvareza, sięgając po pas mistrzowski wagi lekkiej UFC. W ten sposób Irlandczyk stał się pierwszym w historii tej organizacji podwójnym mistrzem.
Ostatni raz w klatce UFC McGregor pojawił się w październiku 2018 roku. Wówczas przegrał przez poddanie zz aktualnym mistrzem tej dywizji Khabibem Nurmagomedovem. Powrót Irlandczyka do zawodowego mma planowany jest na początku 2020 roku, a wśród potencjalnych rywali wymienia Notoriousa się m.in. Donalda Cerrone i Justina Gaethje.
W jaki sposób główny bohater tamtego dnia wspomina swój triumf? McGregor podzileił się z fanami odczuciami w social mediach.
3 years ago today I became a multiple time, multiple-weight World champion at Madison Square Garden, New York City.
What a moment in my life.
To capture the double once. Wow!
To do it twice.
Lord have mercy
I often look at this second picture and imagine how trippy that view must be for my father. Looking up at his son after doing exactly shot for shot what I told him I would do.
I even done it no hands the second time.
I will credit hard work for this moment but it’s not just that.
Hard work alone is not enough.
We can all work hard for a minute. It’s the consistency to do it over and over and over again that will lead you to these iconic moments.
Year after year of focused work!
I worked hard my last two fights. No doubt. But without consistency, I fell short.
All amazing and valuable lessons going forward on this journey that is Martial Life!
Onwards we go…
Happy Tuesday everyone.
