It is always a welcome feeling to have someone believe in you.

So he is the modernday Rocky?

+1 for a good woman. They are a rarity nowadays, but if you find one, hold on to her forever. I did! :)

So he's like... Super good in bed. That's basically my takeaway from this.

You people in this "community" are absolutely miserable, and you'll say anything to drag someone else down to your level of jaded gloom.
InfraredSnapper
I've given up on improving my life and now can only make myself feel better by making others feel worse. Fuck you, hopeful people.

Shhh they just do it to feel better about their sorry asses. Why do u think this community likes cringe dumps so much

Behind every great man is an even better woman.

You gotta wonder what kind of shit storm would come sweeping in if this phrase was "behind every great woman is an even greater man"

All it takes is a small injury, and you've thrown a huge portion of your life in the toilet.
destinoz
two things. First you're wrong and ruled by fear of failure. Second all fighters get injured, it's an unavoidable part of the job.
dingusfiddler96
not really lol. conor has had injuries and come back.
Dirtyoldswish
He was out for a year with a torn ACL. Which is not a small injury.
GavinScreaming
Every athlete has injuries
Notanotherdamnone

TheHolmberg
That story is cool but I like the flip side of the coin where they finally realize they won't be the .0001% that make it.
SharperGuide
He's already worth $2.5 million. I would say he's made it
Was talking about the millions of mixed martial artists that will realize they spent a large part of their lives pursuing a passion all4not.
Forbes lists him at $22 million. #85 on their "The world's highest-paid athletes (2016)"
TygrF
But see, this is the point - you don't follow your passion to achieve greatness. Greatness happens when you love it so much that you're |1

He only had the tattoo down his spine before debuting in the ufc, all his tattoo he got while in the ufc:)

Who is he
UFC featherwight (145lbs) champion.

Connor McGregor. UFC fighter.
UrKungFuNoGood
So is he going to pay back all that money he cheated by deliberately not working now that he's champ?
NikkiMcDonagh
I've been on social welfare in Ireland & you list the industries you're seeking work in on the form. His would have said Professional MMA.
abacab87
Charge him with unemployment fraud.
steelreign10
Why because you said so? do you know if he broke any crimes? Are you a legal expert in irish law?
AGhsauighasdjbnaueighaeuighadjighdrnsjklgh
No but youre supposed to pursue job opportunities when on benefits. If he has time to train he has time to work. Thats the law.
Ok ,i understand what you are saying, but can you prove that he committed fraud? can you prove that he wasn't looking for a job? if not GTFO
Im not saying it was fraud (Which it is) Its clearly quoted that he spent all his time training. He actually quit his job so he could train
shadowbanmeagain
LOL cheated? He was seeking work in MMA, he got his $30k a year on the dole now he pays $1-2 million in income taxes.
Galdrack
You do not get $30k on the dole it's €188 a week if you're lucky which is €9776 or $10985.78 a year. Also actively seeking work means >
Looking for work regardless of the field of work you'd really like to work in.
When you lie about seeking work on your assistance application, it's called cheating.
Prove that he lied.
You didn't read his application so you are the liar here.
It's a known process. You have to seek work to get aid. He says "no job because time all at gym" which means he avoided work. He owes a debt
I told them ‘I don’t know what going to happen. I’m signed to the UFC. I was collecting 188 Euro ($245) a week off the social welfare.
Do you have any sources on what laws were broken here? and how can you prove it? also how much debt does he supposedly owe?
YaBoyJohnorrhea
Aren't you supposed to pursue job opportunities while getting unemployment money?
rkogta
Professional Mma fighting is a job..
OhNoNotThatGuyQuickEverybodyHide
That's a law in the US, don't know about Ireland.
CormacLynch
Its the same here. You have to accept this T&Cs type thing where you accept that you're actively looking for work. Lying is an offence.
He committed fraud! Arrest that man!
He was pursuing becoming a champion and got his dream...
That wouldn't go down as looking for a job.
I wanna play with snakes for a living but I'm not gonna force my gf to pay for me while I do that.
Snakes are fucking terrifying, I would pay to see you play with some tbh
HolyCringeLordBatman
Nothing in there implies he "forced" her to pay for anything. Crazy, almost like some functional couples support each other.
And congrats to him. Man is an amazing athlete and fighter but that's a suuuuuper huge risk to take when you have a family to help with.
AwesomeName
I wonder how many of these stories end with "...and in the end, I failed."
pacobedejo
Almost as many of them as begin with "I was living on public assistance, doing everything but getting a job..."

That and the only thing worse than failing is not trying for fear of failure.
Absofuckinglutely.
jackpkmn
The road to success is paved with the bones those who didn't make it.
DukeDarkwood
And yet, not QUITE all. One in every million "one-in-a-million" stories will be the one who succeeded. And their story will be heard, and
will inspire millions more. And, of each of those millions, another will make it. The jaded will point out how the low odds mean that any
given person who tried would almost certainly fail, so why bother trying... but if we all thought like that, NOBODY would be a success. You
can't win if you don't play - the odds go from one in a million to zero.
It's better to try and fail than to watch meekly from the sideline. If I fail so be it.
Unless you get severely injured failing and end up much worse than you were before.

Well if sideline is a successful engineering career with lots of partying and vacations around the world and stuff, I'm OK with sideline.

If you watch the documentary, they lived with his parents and his parents didn't seem to be hurting for money...

Haha trust me, they are not well off. They're from Crumlin, which is not a nice area at all. My dad is from there. 4 of them in one bed 1/
and parents and sister in the other. My dad was best friends with a kid who is now a notorious drug dealer. Just saying, it was a bad 2/
area and very few good things if any came out of it. Tough boys come from there. Lotta crime. 3/3
Obviously his parent's house is nice........he bought them it with his winnings. Did you think that was the house he grew up in???
Yes I did, because it never said other wise. Trashy doesn't become classy with a new house.

collecting unemployment, not actually looking for work. That sounds like admitting benefit fraud to me.

Not American.... English, but do live in the U.S currently. And familiar with law due to former job in the U.K
Sebh1414
depends.. could you not declare status as a professional athlete and get compensated because you're having a tough time looking for 'work'?
babiibug
You have to provide them with places you've applied (in America) so I don't think that would fly
Bumpaddler
There was fuck all in Ireland at the time. Source, am Irish, was unemployed at the same time, sought work...didn't become UFC champion.
"there was fuck all" goes on the form at the job center does it? you have to actively be looking for work regardless to qualify.
McGregor must've been the first ever person to not do that then. Worked out ok for him.

The same can be said for many aspiring professionals. Often their pursuits are high risk-high reward. It's a wonder some are successful.

He's saying you shouldn't go on welfare to follow your dreams. Most dream makers work while trying to succeed in their goals.
TheLurkiest
For an athlete of his potential spending his time/money at a gym is more financially responsible than spending it working part time at Kohls
i'm sure the benefit office wouldn't see it that way..... that's actually deemed as fraud.
He went professional at 19 years old. Could be that his earnings were so low he still qualified for benefits. I don't know Irish law.
Do you know irish law my good sir?
Well they're legalists then-- anyone with that kind of rare potential shouldn't squander it working some min wage job instead of training

It's ok. In modern society it's our responsibility to support others dreams while we work ourselves to death for them.

On the flipside how many people end up crippled and needing support for life? Sometimes you give just out of love and nothing else.
I believe that's what their family and social network is for. I shouldn't support some cripple I don't know. Weakens the pack.
Eh, I'm guessing you don't work that much anyway.
You're right. Only 14 days a month. And those are 14 hour days. So not much at all.
JudgeMentalCat
That's not how human society works. Bone evidence suggests that even from the days of early humanity, we took care of our sick and disabled.
Back in the beginning the village was related. Not millions. Also I don't feel a meth maker should get free healthcare when the blow up.

And if they had no-one? They should just be left to die?

No, just once. Hasn't defended his belt yet.
no, he got the belt at one of the lower weights, then he won the belt higher up(from Aldo I believe), lost it to Nate, and then won it back.
sec1237clip
though on wikipedia, it says he did had the CWFC LW & FW belts so I guess technically a 3-time champ.
nikehat partly right if just talking about UFC. He's only UFC FW champ atm. The 2 fights w/ Nate were at WW.

There is no actual proof he cheated on her.

cocoloco9302
He became an incredibly marketed champion and asked for more money because it was merited? He sold fights and received better pay.
Exactly. McGregor has 3 out of the top 4 most profitable fights in UFC history.
Well, he went on a "If I don't get payed more I will boycott the fight and not fight because I deserve this". And this kinda sucks..
techpariah
verb (used with object), payed, paying. Nautical. 1. to coat or cover (seams, a ship's bottom, etc.) with pitch or tar.
I feel when you become the marketing face of a company you're able to demand pay. More when the UFC is notorious for under paying fighters
Well, I get that. But there a ways to do it with an agent face to face. And there is doing it in public over twitter..
Efreeti
Since Dana Fuckface White openly supports Trump I don't give a shit about the company part of UFC right now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All it takes is a small injury, and you've thrown a huge portion of your life in the toilet.

two things. First you're wrong and ruled by fear of failure. Second all fighters get injured, it's an unavoidable part of the job.
dingusfiddler96
not really lol. conor has had injuries and come back.

He was out for a year with a torn ACL. Which is not a small injury.

He's already worth $2.5 million. I would say he's made it
TheHolmberg
Was talking about the millions of mixed martial artists that will realize they spent a large part of their lives pursuing a passion all4not.
Dirtyoldswish
Forbes lists him at $22 million. #85 on their "The world's highest-paid athletes (2016)"

But see, this is the point - you don't follow your passion to achieve greatness. Greatness happens when you love it so much that you're |1

UFC featherwight (145lbs) champion.

Connor McGregor. UFC fighter.
UrKungFuNoGood
So is he going to pay back all that money he cheated by deliberately not working now that he's champ?
NikkiMcDonagh
I've been on social welfare in Ireland & you list the industries you're seeking work in on the form. His would have said Professional MMA.
abacab87
Charge him with unemployment fraud.
steelreign10
Why because you said so? do you know if he broke any crimes? Are you a legal expert in irish law?
AGhsauighasdjbnaueighaeuighadjighdrnsjklgh
No but youre supposed to pursue job opportunities when on benefits. If he has time to train he has time to work. Thats the law.
steelreign10
Ok ,i understand what you are saying, but can you prove that he committed fraud? can you prove that he wasn't looking for a job? if not GTFO
AGhsauighasdjbnaueighaeuighadjighdrnsjklgh
Im not saying it was fraud (Which it is) Its clearly quoted that he spent all his time training. He actually quit his job so he could train
shadowbanmeagain
LOL cheated? He was seeking work in MMA, he got his $30k a year on the dole now he pays $1-2 million in income taxes.
Galdrack
You do not get $30k on the dole it's €188 a week if you're lucky which is €9776 or $10985.78 a year. Also actively seeking work means >
Galdrack
Looking for work regardless of the field of work you'd really like to work in.
UrKungFuNoGood
When you lie about seeking work on your assistance application, it's called cheating.
steelreign10
Prove that he lied.
shadowbanmeagain
You didn't read his application so you are the liar here.
UrKungFuNoGood
It's a known process. You have to seek work to get aid. He says "no job because time all at gym" which means he avoided work. He owes a debt
shadowbanmeagain
I told them ‘I don’t know what going to happen. I’m signed to the UFC. I was collecting 188 Euro ($245) a week off the social welfare.
steelreign10
Do you have any sources on what laws were broken here? and how can you prove it? also how much debt does he supposedly owe?
YaBoyJohnorrhea
Aren't you supposed to pursue job opportunities while getting unemployment money?
rkogta
Professional Mma fighting is a job..
OhNoNotThatGuyQuickEverybodyHide
That's a law in the US, don't know about Ireland.
CormacLynch
Its the same here. You have to accept this T&Cs type thing where you accept that you're actively looking for work. Lying is an offence.
YaBoyJohnorrhea
He committed fraud! Arrest that man!
nohomoibetyoukissgirlsfgt
He was pursuing becoming a champion and got his dream...
Galdrack
That wouldn't go down as looking for a job.
YaBoyJohnorrhea
I wanna play with snakes for a living but I'm not gonna force my gf to pay for me while I do that.

Nothing in there implies he "forced" her to pay for anything. Crazy, almost like some functional couples support each other.

And congrats to him. Man is an amazing athlete and fighter but that's a suuuuuper huge risk to take when you have a family to help with.

no, he got the belt at one of the lower weights, then he won the belt higher up(from Aldo I believe), lost it to Nate, and then won it back.

though on wikipedia, it says he did had the CWFC LW & FW belts so I guess technically a 3-time champ.

He became an incredibly marketed champion and asked for more money because it was merited? He sold fights and received better pay.

Exactly. McGregor has 3 out of the top 4 most profitable fights in UFC history.

Well, he went on a "If I don't get payed more I will boycott the fight and not fight because I deserve this". And this kinda sucks..

verb (used with object), payed, paying. Nautical. 1. to coat or cover (seams, a ship's bottom, etc.) with pitch or tar.

I feel when you become the marketing face of a company you're able to demand pay. More when the UFC is notorious for under paying fighters
SchmuseTigger
Well, I get that. But there a ways to do it with an agent face to face. And there is doing it in public over twitter..
