Connor McGregor: From the welfare line to 100 million dollar payday

[( . Y . )]

Why do they keep trying to hype Conor's life to be something it wasn't. He was on wel fare because he chose to chase his dream. The guy got a plumbing apprenticeship from his dad. Props to Conor for making himself a very rich man, but he grew up with both parents and was not poor by any means.

Dee Devlin has been with Conor 9 years and he has never hit her.

Good for him. I'm not defending Floyd or discrediting Conor. His story is remarkable. The media doesn't need to add to it. He cashed welfare checks because he wanted to train full time. Most guys with that kind of dream work full time and train to chase it. If anything he had it easier than most guys.

I'm more impressed that a guy like Stipe Miocic who trains in a small gym in Ohio and worked full time as a firefighter became Heavyweight Champion.

He had it easy to be honest. Had a job as an apprentice plumber that he gave up, then mooched off of welfare while living with his girlfriend to train full time. It's not like he was in the favelas and had no other choice but to fight for a check.
