Notorious: The Life and Fights of Conor Mcgregor

Product Information

McGregor's formative years had been spent in Crumlin, where he had joined the local boxing club, but his parents had recently moved to Lucan, uprooting him from his friends, his hangouts and even his gym, which he now struggled to get to as regularly.

Gracie didn't knock anyone out, he didn't muscle anyone around; he slowly tripped them to the floor, got on top of them, moved to their back and submitted them with a choke. McGregor's success is nothing short of extraordinary, having lost only three fights in his career so far. I’m ready to tell my story and to give something back to my fans who have been with me from the beginning.

Jack Slack is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the fight game and is able to provide a detailed analysis which is accessible even to the casual fight fan, who will come away with a greater appreciation for the intricacies of the sport.

In February 2013, the UFC announced that they had signed McGregor to a multi-fight contract and he made his UFC debut against Marcus Brimage in April 2013, winning via TKO just over a minute into the first round. You get the story of McGregor's journey and the analytical/technical aspects of his fights explained in great detail.

Having much less technical understanding than him, I was pleasantly surprised that it is much more accessible than some of those articles, as he often takes breaks mid-chapter to delve into technical details to explain some of Conor's success. He’s got a keen insight into the fight game and a knack of knowing exactly why, on a technical level, one fighter just beat another.

The biggest compliment I can give to this book is not only have I read an engaging story about McGregor but also my understanding of the sport in general has been enhanced.

I’ve read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I’ve read, because he is like a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I’m not a big reader. Fans will love to read about Conor’s journey so far, the technicalities of the sport, but more than anything, the sheer self-belief of an incredibly committed man’. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. After graduating from Dublin Institute of Technology, Kavanagh doubled down on his teaching of martial arts.
