Conor McGregor went from a welfare-dependent plumber to a $180 million-per-year athlete and Forbes billionaire in five or six years. One speaker compares his obsessive dedication to Van Gogh's, noting the personal sacrifices required to reach that level of success.
Conor McGregor's story is insane. He went from a plumber on welfare to the highest paid, richest athlete in the world on the Forbes list, to the first two-weight world champion in the UFC. And he did this all in like 5 or 6 years. And there was a video of him after his training session.
Lost my mind doing this game. Yeah, like Vincent van Gogh dedicated his life to his art and lost his mind in the process. That's happened to me. But shit, when that gold belt was around my waist, my mother has a big mansion, my Gervain has a different car for every day of the week. And my kids' kids have everything they ever want. Then it will pay. Then I'm happy I lost my mind. Yeah? I'll die a crazy old man.
