Conor McGregor is fast becoming the athlete that MMA has been looking for all along. He knows how to play the crowd, and when you look at MMA lines, it’s clear that his attitude drives his popularity.
McGregor appeared triumphant even before the fight begun. He raised his hands, playing to the crowds’ expectations even as he approached the ring. He even went so far as to do a victory lap before the first punch was thrown. No wonder people were touting him as the greatest champion the UFC has ever seen.
He wasn’t just confident and cocky; he actually delivered, overwhelming Eddie Alvarez before knocking him out in the second round. The self-Proclaimed King of New York took the UFC Lightweight title home on that Saturday.
And, as a two-class champion, the title ‘King of New York’ is definitely deserved. All anyone wants to know now is McGregor’s next destination. Where is he going next?
