Conor McGregor swiftly defeated Jose Aldo on Saturday. During his victory lap, he’s emphasizing the help he’s received from his better half.
“My girlfriend has been there since the start,” he said, via The Irish Mirror. “She has helped me throughout this career. If it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today. My girlfriend worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially absolutely nothing.”
“I only had a dream that I was telling her,” he continued. “For me to be able to take her out of work, give her everything she’s ever wanted and to travel the world with her fills me with pride. It keeps me going.”
