Less than 15 years ago, no one knew the name Conor McGregor. Then he met a woman named Dee Devlin, and they moved into her small apartment together. In 2008, Conor was working as a plumber with a low salary. One day, he decided to quit his job and said, “This is not the job for me.” He wanted to become a professional boxer.
Dee supported Conor’s dream completely. She always told him to work hard and believe in himself. Even though they didn’t have much money, they made sure Conor had the best food to help him train. Dee would prepare his meals, pack his workout clothes, drive him to the gym, and bring him home after training. She made sure every meal was nutritious. Most importantly, she listened to him and encouraged him whenever he felt like giving up.
With Conor’s talent, hard work, and Dee’s support, he has become very successful. Today, Conor’s net worth is estimated to be $200 million. He is a major figure in MMA, and UFC President Dana White calls him the “golden egg.” His fight with Floyd Mayweather is the highest-grossing PPV event ever.
Conor’s story shows the importance of believing in yourself and having people around you who support you. Work hard for your dreams because your family and loved ones believe in you. Life is too short to listen to those who want to see you fail.
