Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor is the most fascinating case study I know in self-invention. A plumber's apprentice from Crumlin talked himself into superstardom, then backed up nearly every outrageous prediction with that surgical left hand, becoming the UFC's first simultaneous two-division champion. I won't pretend the later chapters are flattering; the controversies outside the cage have steadily eroded the legend. But as a pure phenomenon of charisma, timing, and Irish defiance, prime McGregor was electric in a way combat sports rarely produce. My honest take: separate the 2013-2016 fighter from everything that followed, and you are watching one of the great sports stories of this century.
