Conor McGregor has vowed to prove the idea he doesn't work as hard after achieving massive success is no more than a myth when he returns to action.
The former two-weight world champion is far and away the biggest star in MMA history, and has made hundreds of millions from his career in the octagon. But after making his first nine-figure payday for a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather in 2017, fans have theorised he is struggling to maintain his work ethic.
Backing this theory is McGregor's poor record since the Mayweather bout; he's gone 1-3, fighting less than once a year since that bout with the boxing icon. But he has also suffered severe injuries in that time, including a broken foot in the lead-up to his 2018 MMA return against Khabib Nurmagomedov and his broken leg last year against Dustin Poirier.
