In a throwback video on an Instagram account named boxingsciences, Conor McGregor reminisced about the moment when he had to take a good beating from his crush’s boyfriend.

However, she had a boyfriend who was 17 years old and he also had quite a gang of friends who accompanied him. Despite the warning signs, McGregor snuck up on the girl to meet her privately.
Once when they were walking on the streets, the girl’s boyfriend pulled up in the car and jumped out with his friends. They beat up Conor McGregor badly and left him to lick his wounds on the streets. Unable to fight back, ‘The Notorious’ had no option other than to surrender.

So if someone ever jumps out of a car or jumps out of any situation to me they will never do it again.” Surely, this incident proved to be a turning point in Conor McGregor’s life. He did really learn to fight and went on to become one of the most iconic fighters in MMA history.
