Notorious: The Life and Fights of Conor Mcgregor

Product Information

Meanwhile, Kavanagh, who would become Ireland's first black belt, had to travel across the Atlantic Ocean to get even a few days of tuition from a black belt instructor. Conor observed that almost everyone he knew in Ireland supported either Liverpool or Manchester United, and while his father spent his early life in Liverpool, the Dubliner reflected that United were probably 'his' team.

As the great Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Carlos Machado would put it: 'The ground is my ocean, I'm the shark, and most people don't even know how to swim. In this book Jack has documented the career of Conor McGregor from a confident slugger to a measured sharpshooter and breaks down the improvements McGregor has made along the way.I’d love to know exactly how a kid with a background in pure boxing picked up all those Taekwon Do and Capoeria kicks.

The book reflects less on McGregor the person, the showman ship and hype, and more on his fighting style and how it translated to his success in MMA. As something of an encouraging bonus, when words escalated to blows Kavanagh found that a little grappling knowledge and practice on top of his traditional martial arts experience made things a lot easier for him than he had expected. Many of McGregors inner circle refused to speak to the author, a clear sign of McGregor’s need to control his own narrative.Cleaning the mats multiple times a day is mandatory at a gym with a high number of sessions and a good number of people on the mats. If you're looking for juicy gossip, unfounded rumours and wild speculation about the personal life of MMA's biggest superstar, then this is not the book for you. You get the belt when your coach feels you deserve it and it could take half a decade or more between belts, or just a year. McGregor's formative years had been spent in Crumlin, where he had joined the local boxing club, but his parents had recently moved to Lucan, uprooting him from his friends, his hangouts and even his gym, which he now struggled to get to as regularly.
