Making Changes
In prep for his showdown with Poirier, Conor McGregor has explicitly stated his intentions to change things up for the trilogy. To be more exact it appears that McGregor is getting back to his roots.
His recent Tweets show a man ready to put his ego aside to get back to what worked before. Considering his massive bravado, some would say that’s a bit of a tall task. Nevertheless, Conor McGregor seems motivated to win the rubber match by any means necessary.
Today in 2013 I weighed in for my UFC debut. What a journey! It would become my 12th KO in MMA competition. Dustin Poirier would then become my 12th first round KO in MMA competition.
This next fight will be my 12th UFC main event.
Rare company!

My ufc debut I found out 9 weeks out. I took a week to get right from not training/partying, and then 8 weeks out I moved to my sisters apt which was close to the gym. I woke up, trained, walked back to apartment, ate my meals and rested, trained again, back to apt, sleep, repeat

Double skills work. I also didn’t take rest days unless I absolutely had to. Not one. Not even a Sunday.
I will take this approach again for my comeback fight.
I didn’t become ufc champ champ with this method but I did become ufc 145 champion. Also the cage warrior champ champ.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 5, 2021
