"I’m really seeing that spirit lit up in the team. It’s always there, but for whatever reason, because we’re being laughed at, because we’re being mocked, it’s making us even stronger.”https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/878367572776943623 All logic dictates that he's going to lose, badly. However, McGregor isn't a creature that abides by the laws of logic. The reason behind this irrational belief in McGregor's ability against Floyd 'fucking' Mayweather is that we've all seen him do the impossible before. We all watched him render Jose Aldo unconscious in 13 seconds. We all had to pick our jaws up off the floor after he reduced Eddie Alvarez's granite chin to rubble. We've seen him go from the Facebook Prelims in a European Fight Night to headlining the most lucrative PPVs in MMA history. https://www.instagram.com/p/BMmTUzPjWPl/ McGregor warned everyone of the impending takeover when he first broke into the UFC, but no one envisaged it on happening on such a staggering scale in such a short timeframe. His unconventionality aided him in his ascent to the zenith. No fighter immediately jumps up a weight division after winning a UFC belt. No one agrees to move up another weight class to ensure an asterisk doesn't get added when they exact revenge for their toughest loss. Nor is following up winning a historic second UFC belt by calling out one of the greatest boxers ever considered the norm. That being said, no fighter has been able to solve the Mayweather enigma either. But, whatever McGregor has planned to take on that improbable task, you can guarantee it will be unconventional. Does that mean we are backing 'The Notorious' to win? Hell no! However, it's hard to shake that expectation that he's going to show us something special.
