Description: Conor Mc Gregor is the biggest star in the fight game. The Dubliner has achieved more in three years with the Ultimate Fighting Championship than anyone in the twenty year history of the organization. From an unknown prospect in 2013 to the first man to hold two world titles simultaneously, Mc Gregor's knockout-filled march through the featherweight and then lightweight rankings sent shockwaves through the world. But as effortless as Mc Gregor's heroics have seemed, his journey was far from smooth and his destiny anything but certain. Just another teenager trading martial arts techniques with his friends in a shed, the seemingly delusional boy packed in his plumbing gig - to the massive anxiety of his parents - to chase a pipe dream with little promise of reward. No one could have guessed he would go on to become the biggest pay-per-view attraction in the world. As a technician and tactician inside the cage, Mc Gregor was something special. Outside of the cage Mc Gregor could draw thousands of screaming fans to press events with his wit and presence. And away from the cameras, Mc Gregor's life was built around a love of treating his friends and a loyalty to his teammates and his hometown. This is not another tale about an athlete who was born exceptional and groomed for success. It is about how one young man, through bloody-minded determination and indomitable spirit, came to change the whole game. Fully updated to put his mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather under the microscope, Notorious: The Life and Fights of Conor Mc Gregor explores not just how the fight game changed Conor Mc Gregor, but how Conor Mc Gregor revolutionized the fight game.

Review: A detailed account of McGregor's career upto & including his UFC lightweight title win at UFC 205. Jack has a knack for explaining the strategy of mixed martial artists in a sport that thrives on complex approaches developed around the globe. In this book Jack has documented the career of Conor McGregor from a confident slugger to a measured sharpshooter and breaks down the improvements McGregor has made along the way. Notorious is an unbiased and informative account of where Conor McGregor fits into the landscape of MMA and touches on a number of relevant topics such as fighter pay, marketing and fighter safety. He gives Conor credit where it's due for his exceptional talents whilst acknowledging plenty of the controversies that surround 'The Notorious' Conor. It covers all the topics I wish people understood about McGregor but don't have the time to tell them! It's an exceptional read. The chapter on the Nate Diaz rematch was particularly thrilling and managed to bring back some of the nerves of watching the fight live.
