Conor McGregor citations

Conor Anthony McGregor est un pratiquant d'arts martiaux mixtes irlandais, né le 14 juillet 1988 à Dublin. Il est ancien champion de la division des poids légers et ancien champion de la division des poids plumes de l'Ultimate Fighting Championship .

McGregor commence sa carrière de combattant de MMA en 2008, principalement en Irlande. Recruté par l'organisation Cage Warriors en 2011, il possède l'année suivante les ceintures de champion dans deux catégories différentes, plumes et légers, devenant le premier à être champion simultanément dans deux catégories. Il signe alors un contrat avec la première organisation de MMA du monde, l'Ultimate Fighting Championship. Il enchaîne alors les victoires jusqu'à obtenir le droit d'affronter José Aldo pour le titre de champion unifié de la division plumes. McGregor met fin au combat principal de l'UFC 194 en seulement 13 secondes en infligeant un knockout à son adversaire, la victoire la plus rapide de l'histoire de l'UFC lors d'un combat pour un titre.

Après une double confrontation contre Nate Diaz en catégorie mi-moyens, conclue par une défaite et une victoire, McGregor remporte la ceinture de champion de la division légers en dominant Eddie Alvarez. Il devient le premier combattant de l'UFC simultanément champion dans deux divisions différentes. Combat après combat, l'Irlandais s'est imposé comme la tête d'affiche de l'UFC. Personnalité atypique, provocateur, animateur en conférence de presse, ce combattant au style particulier se lance le défi d'affronter le champion invaincu de boxe anglaise Floyd Mayweather, Jr., mais s'incline par KO technique à la dixième reprise. McGregor a été nommé par le magazine Time comme l'une des 100 personnes les plus influentes du monde en 2017.

“This is a superfight. I look up at that poster and I see myself tucked in the back there. I see a guy who has.. his last gate was $1.7 million, he fought on free tv. He's never brought a dime to the company, he's never made a dime, yet he is sitting there on the front of my poster. I think that's a department that needs to be looked at, somebody is sleeping on the job.”

“You're damn right I'm in it to make money. This is prizefighting, I'm in it to get rich; fast. And then I'm in it to get out… I'm in the business of securing my own future, my family's future, and that's it. That's what I'm in it for. The fight game doesn't last long, competitive fighting doesn't last long. Learning martial arts, and training, is for life because that's medication to me so I will do that forever. But, as far as the fight game, I'm in it to get all the money, all the belts, and then I'm gone.”

“I am in a league of my own. The game is on it's knees. The game must hold seminars every weekend to pay for their training costs and I'm out here rallying around California in a car that spits fire, dressed like El Chapo, with anacondas on my feet. So, I am in a league of my own here, ahead of everyone in the game by a country mile.”

“I think Floyd needs to learn before he opens his mouth. You don't put a man like me in a situation like that. You know, you put me in a name that's got to do with prejudice when you know nothing about me. I am a multi-cultured individual. I take from all cultures. Look at me. I am a product of many cultures as a young, Irish man. I know he wasn't saying that I am that person, but it put me in that bracket and I did not appreciate that one bit. There's people buried in the desert for less than that so Floyd needs to understand before he speaks who he is speaking about and that is as simple as that.”
