Nobody could have predicted two years ago that Conor McGregor would be where he is today other than himself, of course, and he'd be the first person to tell you that.

In the span of two years, McGregor went from a hyped up-and-comer to a champion to fighting Floyd Mayweather.

 

 

It's on. Who you got? #Mayweather #McGregor

He's UFC's most recognizable and charismatic star, and without him the landscape of the company and the popularity of the sport would be very different.

For this 'FBF' moment, we're going to go back to 2015 when he was on the verge of stardom and realizing his dreams.

McGregor and Dana White stopped by TSN when they were in Toronto and Conor did what some people might think of doing sometimes, fight his boss, virtually that is as the two squared off in a bout in UFC 2015.

The pure joy McGregor got from beating Dana in the game just shows you the type of competitor that he is.

 

Sure, he loves money and trash talking, but what he loves more than both of those things, aside from his family of course, is fighting and proving the world wrong.

That's what he'll aim to do on August 26th as he faces a man who is undefeated in a boxing ring.

 

The boxing ring is mine.
