Conor McGregor has drawn a line under his past accomplishments, insisting there can be many more more memorable nights if he gets past Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\nConor McGregor has drawn a line under his past accomplishments, insisting there can be many more more memorable nights if he gets past Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
McGregor is one of only a handful of fighters to have won UFC belts in more than one weight class, while he became the first in the company to hold two titles simultaneously when he added the lightweight strap to his featherweight crown in November 2016.<\/p>\n
Fame and fortune have followed since a crossover bout against boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather but his star inside the octagon dimmed after losing to bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov 15 months ago.<\/p>\n
A number of legal issues away from the mixed martial arts world have dogged McGregor since then, but the Dubliner remains the UFC\u2019s biggest draw and claims he has learned from his mistakes and is fresher than ever.<\/p>\n
He said in quotes on the UFC\u2019s official website: \u201cI broke the game before I was even 30. But that\u2019s the past. I\u2019m focused on the present, focused on creating many more magical moments inside the octagon.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone always says \u2018when are we getting the old Conor back? We want to get the 2016 Conor back\u2019. I\u2019d smoke that guy. I\u2019m in a great fighting state of mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had many iconic moments and many great moments and that came through commitment and consistency and constant hard work.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s outside of it that makes the difference. If you\u2019re not switched on outside of it, if it\u2019s not in your thinking outside of the game or outside of the gym, it\u2019s easy to switch off and it\u2019s easy to lose focus.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then when you come back in, you\u2019re not as sharp or as up for it, and it\u2019s a slippery slope.\u201d<\/p>\n
The defeat to Nurmagomedov on an acrimonious night in Sin City has been McGregor\u2019s only MMA bout in more than three years, but he wants to show his comeback against Cerrone is no one-off.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was fighting for a better life,\u201d he added. \u201cNow I\u2019m fighting for the love.<\/p>\n
\u201cActivity is what I plan this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Should he get past his veteran American opponent in their welterweight encounter at the T-Mobile Arena, McGregor is planning to fight at least twice more this year.<\/p>\n
However, the weight class and opponent is irrelevant for McGregor, who added: \u201cIt can be Jorge (Masvidal), it can be Kamaru (Usman), it can be the Khabib rematch, it can be Tony (Ferguson), it can be Justin (Gaethje).<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a whole host of brilliant names. It could be Max (Holloway). I don\u2019t care. Activity is what I\u2019m after.\u201d<\/p>\n
