If you don’t believe in the law of attraction or that hard work pays off, you might want to take a look at Conor McGregor’s career path.

McGregor is now the UFC’s featherweight and lightweight kingpin, the promotion’s first simultaneous two-weight champion, something he envisioned years ago back when he was a two-weight champ in Cage Warriors.

The 28-year-old superstar knocked Eddie Alvarez out in the main event of UFC 205 Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

Understandably, the Irishman received worldwide praise on social media for his performance and the accomplishment.
