Like, seriously, when did this ever even sound like a good idea to anyone? Nah, it's just a natural story. McGregor was some no-name fighter from Ireland training out of a camp no one has heard of and took the UFC by storm with an aggresive brawling style and big mouth. He put on multiple exciting fights and dared to be great--I can count on my hand the number of MMA fighters who legitimately pursued and fought all-time great Boxers, and that's two--McGregor and Antonio Inoki (Though under... different circumstances). It would be the same if Mayweather challenged McGregor in the Octagon and actually went through with it. That sounds insane because McGregor would undoubtedly win... Who would take a fight they're nearly guaranteed to lose? McGregor. He dared to be great. Now, granted, he probably also made an obscene amount of money, but for people like Connor that's not the only thing that drives him. So that's why people cared. People like underdog stories, and people love confidence in the face of impossible odds. It's only human to be inspired by a story like that. --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 ...
