329
McGregor is high in confidence heading into UFC 329. Despite being
37 years old and coming off a lengthy absence from competition, the
former two-division champion is eager to add more accolades to his
legacy.
“I feel there’s so much left for me to conquer in this game. So
much more accolades. More belts, more knockouts, more records, more
cash,” he told The Mac Life ahead of his return to the Octagon. “I
am taking everything of what I have built. The fight game in the
combat sports world is McGregor’s world. And I’m in my prime here
now. So, it is on me now to go and show that. And that’s what I
will do.”
Highlighting the magnitude of his highly anticipated and
long-awaited return to action, the UFC legend added that he’s
motivated by all the attention and pressure on him.
“The Mac has a fight… Hallelujah! The magnitude of this event is
colossal. So it’s not hard to get motivated. And to remain
disciplined, dedicated, all that is on the line here. And I am
relishing it. Another iconic mixed martial arts belt with yours
truly at its helm. Working hard, same thing every day. With no ego,
we leave our ego at the door. We’re learning, working our shots,
and preparing ourselves for main event slots here at
Straight Blast Gym, Ireland,” he added.
