Conor McGregor’s journey and transformation from a humble plumber in Dublin to global fame was always going to happen. Today, the ‘Notorious’ stands among the highest-paid athletes in the world, symbolizing ambition and unmatched self-belief. Though he once strayed from his original path, McGregor has seemingly rediscovered his purpose, regaining faith and discipline.

From winning championships and delivering spectacular knockout finishes, Conor McGregor has surprisingly lost three of his last four UFC fights. His downfall has become one of the most discussed topics in MMA, with many blaming excessive partying and alcohol habits.

A few weeks ago, McGregor accepted that money and fame did affect his mindset, which ultimately led to his downfall. However, during a recent press conference, the Irishman revealed how his renewed faith helped him transform into a changed man.

I am not here just by chance. There is a higher power, God, that dictates my journey and all of our journeys, and I live my life by God’s word. Since around the time of the last event, I’ve engaged on a spiritual journey, and I am saved. I’m saved, and I am healed. On the back of that, the world is in for a treat. My competitive spark, that was once in my heart, is now a roaring blaze. So, I’m very excited.

Conor McGregor hasn’t competed inside the UFC Octagon for over four years since suffering a leg break against Dustin Poirier. While many fans questioned his potential return, the ‘Mystic Mac’ has now confirmed that a comeback is officially in motion. His business partner and BKFC CEO, David Feldman, revealed McGregor’s major lifestyle changes to prepare for a successful future.

McGregor has even claimed that he expects to earn around $100 million for his potential fight at the special event. In a recent interview, the Irish fighter doubled down on his focus, emphasizing that the White House event remains his primary goal.

I’m coming back with the White House. I’m having fun with all this, but I’m under no illusion… my comeback for mixed martial arts is paramount. I’d love it to be Chandler…Something good is coming was what they said.

Conor McGregor told Ariel Helwani 

McGregor has previously confirmed his intentions to face former Bellator champion Michael Chandler at the upcoming White House event. The Irish MMA superstar was recently handed an 18-month suspension by Combat Sports Anti-Doping for missing three out-of-competition tests.

Between June and September 2024, McGregor reportedly failed to update his whereabouts as required under the strict UFC anti-doping rules. These repeated failures were classified as “whereabouts violations,” although McGregor was recovering from a serious leg injury during that specific period.

CSAD acknowledged his cooperation and transparency throughout the entire investigation, leading to a reduction in his penalty. The standard two-year suspension was officially reduced to 18 months, backdated to September 20, 2024, until March 20, 2026. This sanction conveniently aligns with McGregor’s plans, enabling his potential return to headline the UFC’s monumental White House event.
