UFC superstar Conor McGregor has achieved fame like no other in the sport of MMA. His success in the UFC is insurmountable. From holding two belts to jumping in different divisions, “The Notorious” has done it all. But before making it in the sport, Conor was a believer. He believed in his success as his November 26, 2013 tweet is living proof of his manifestation.
In that tweet, Conor wrote, “I just want two gold belts, a jiu-jitsu blackbelt, a hall of fame plaque, and 25 million in the bank. Is that too much to ask? Gym time!!”. And after that everything else was history. But there was one thing that “The Notorious” was waiting for 10 years. After achieving multiple championships, Conor finally received his black belt in jiu-jitsu. In a post on his social media, he thanked his coaches and expressed his gratitude.
In the picture, Conor received the belt from his long-time coach John Kavanagh from SBG Ireland. One by one, the Irish star is ticking off his list of goals. In 2016, after defeating Eddie Alvarez, Conor picked up his second title to become a double champ. He was the first person in the UFC to hold two belts from two different weight divisions.
A young Conor from 2013 will be proud to find out how far he has made it. After achieving loads of success, McGregor is still striving to get back on the top. Reports suggest that Conor will make his comeback in late December or early 2024 against fellow lightweight Michael Chandler in the UFC.
