The strongest king in the octagonal cage
As the first double heavyweight gold belt winner in the history of UFC, Conor McGregor, an Irishman, has passed all the way since he signed a contract with UFC on 20 13. In the 20 15 battle for the featherweight gold belt, it only took 13 seconds to beat the legendary unbeaten player Jose Aldo, who had dominated this level for nearly ten years, and became a new generation of facade. 20 16 was upgraded to a second heavyweight, and McGregor decided to take revenge. Nate Diaz won the second gold belt.
The moment McGregor was knocked down by Plival
The defeat of this defending battle is only the third time that MacGregor failed to win in the octagonal cage. Although his second battle plan with "Kitty Hawk" Habibie was shattered, and his cross-border war with legendary Filipino boxer Pacquiao was affected, his historical position has not been reduced at all. At the post-match press conference, McGregor said, "Man, I have made a lot of efforts. I am proud of myself. We are all excellent soldiers. Of course, I still need to continue to participate in the competition. You know, if you don't keep continuous exposure in the octagonal cage, you will be punished. " This very "mouth gun" remark also shows his determination and fighting spirit to make a comeback.
A gold addict worth more than 300 million dollars
When McGregor was defeated by his opponent KO, the supporters watching the battle on the fighting island in Abu Dhabi could not hide their disappointment. However, according to the news released by the media after the game, McGregor who lost the game still took the prize of 65.438+08 million pounds (about 65.438+600 million yuan), while Plival who won the game only got the guaranteed income of 730,000 pounds!
In UFC's business alliance, achievement is not the only guarantee of gold absorption efficiency, but the market appeal of "mouth gun" is the guarantee of his long life in the octagonal cage. As a relatively small UFC in China, joining with Li is certainly a pilot to open up the China market on this stage, but as the first boxer who raised the appearance fee to one million pounds, McGregor still kept others waiting for him.
In addition to earning enough eyeballs and income by his own work, McGregor has already spread his ability to absorb gold to other industries. His annual income from his own clothing brand and whisky brand is conservatively estimated to be close to 50 million pounds (about 440 million yuan), and the influence of breaking the circle has made his worth soar to 300 million dollars (about 2 billion yuan). Throughout the history of boxing, I'm afraid only American undefeated champion Mayweather can match it: in the cross-border war between 20 15 two top superstars, Mayweather earned more than 200 million dollars, while McGregor also earned nearly 1 billion dollars.
The poor couple's counterattack journey
Although he has established his historical position in the field of fighting, McGregor's story in life is more inspiring. From childhood, I was educated by my father's "stick education", and the mouth cannon learned to survive the fittest in a harsh growth environment. In 2008, he started training in a boxing gym in Ireland. Once regarded as a gangster by others, he received unemployment benefits of 188 euros (about 2000 yuan at that time) every month, and even needed to go to McDonald's to pick up leftovers from others.
Fortunately, the confused McGregor met the love of his life, and the appearance of Di Devlin made him determined to concentrate on practicing boxing. At that time, their daily expenses depended entirely on Devlin's meager work income. The young couple's life in a 30-square-meter rental house did not crush this strong woman. Even reluctant to buy a lipstick. She fully supports her boyfriend to sign UFC, making him the most successful boxer today.
Last August, their 12-year long love run finally came to fruition, and the two sides announced their engagement. The mouth cannon wrote in the announcement at that time, "Now I can afford any car, clothes and house I want, and I want to give them to her. She is still here to support me. " The inspirational story of "poor couple" has become a respected label, from thinking about the future in a humble room to sitting on countless wealth now. The two currently have a son and a daughter, and children and wives are the driving force for him to climb further.
