It’s a new feat for Conor McGregor. The famous Irish MMA champion has just secured a successful comeback by knocking out his American opponent Donald Cerrone in less than a minute. This resounding knockout marked the Irish star’s comeback, despite having suffered a major setback 15 months earlier against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
It has to be said that Conor McGregor is an emblematic figure in MMA worldwide. A controversial figure as much as he is appreciated, he showed a much more humble face than usual for this match. Initially very respectful of his opponent, he showed his concentration and involvement in the match. Aggressive from the very first seconds, he inflicted such strategic blows that Donald Cerrone was technically knocked out in less than 40 seconds.
I feel so good, I’m unharmed. I worked hard to get back to where I was. Once again, I’m etching my name in history, for the Irish people and for my mom over there. he declared
A satisfaction that seems to have transformed McGregor, usually much more provocative and irreverent.
It should be remembered that Conor McGregor has suffered numerous setbacks and scandals over the last 3 years, which have earned him numerous headlines in the press. Defeated in English boxing by the untouchable Floyd Mayweather, defeated by Nurmagomedov, whose wife he had insulted and whose Muslim faith he had mocked… Not to mention the multiple assaults that are currently getting him into trouble with the American justice system, as well as the complaints against him for sexual assaults in Ireland.
As you can see, Conor McGregor seems to be trying to win back his fans and put an end to the scandals. A major Irish media figure, he seems to be making a comeback, and at the same time trying to redeem his image.
