McGregor is considered the UFC’s biggest superstar and has had to deal with heightened fame for several years, which Liverpudlian star Molly McCann is also in the process of becoming as her career continues to grow
Molly McCann has revealed Conor McGregor text her some “mad” advice on how to stay focused on her fighting career during her new-found fame.
McCann has recorded a sensational rise this year after picking up wins on back-to-back UFC London cards alongside teammate Paddy Pimblett. The female star’s entertaining personality and trash-talking has seen her popularity grow, with the star’s latest outing set to take place against Erin Blanchfield at UFC 281 in Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.
UFC superstar McGregor is still the name on everyone’s lips in the sport despite being out of action after breaking his leg in defeat by Dustin Poirier last July. And McCann has revealed McGregor told her to let no-one else into the gym when she is preparing for fights to help remain grounded during her recent rise.
“I messaged him going, âHow do you handle this? Because you can blow up and then you can blow up,” McCann told reporters at UFC 281 media day. “I just couldn’t quite get my head around how some people are with you’. (McGregor) was just like, âWhen you’re in the gym, it’s just the gym. Don’t let no one else in. Keep everyone outside. Always remember it’s just fighting.
