‘I WAS TRAPPED AND CAUGHT’ Conor McGregor addresses turbulent life outside the Octagon

Conor McGregor gives a brutally honest account of the turbulent years that have shaped his life outside the Octagon as he prepares to step back into the UFC spotlight. The former two-weight world champion reflects on the difficult period away from competition, the lessons he has learned, his renewed faith and the battles that continue beyond fighting. McGregor also addresses questions surrounding his life away from the UFC, insisting he knows the truth and declaring that if “the world is against the truth” then he is “against the world”. He speaks candidly about feeling “trapped and caught” after reaching the highest levels of fame and success, while explaining why he believes the work he has done on himself has left him calmer and more centred. With Max Holloway standing in his way, McGregor discusses his preparation, years away from active competition, his ambitions for a UFC Triple Crown and why he believes the fighting world is about to see that “The Mac is well and truly back”.
