A great example of someone with star power who started with a rocky beginning is Conor McGregor. Early in his career, McGregor struggled financially while trying to break into the MMA scene. He was on welfare in Ireland, working as a plumber’s apprentice, and had little to his name. His fighting career had its share of setbacks, including losses and moments where his future was uncertain.
Despite these early struggles, McGregor's charisma, confidence, and explosive fighting style propelled him to stardom. His trash-talking, brash persona, and ability to hype up fights made him a fan favorite. He became the first fighter in UFC history to hold two championships simultaneously in two different weight classes, a feat that cemented his legacy and star power. McGregor's rise shows how someone with a challenging start can leverage personality, talent, and timing to achieve massive success.
