Many have questioned Conor McGregor’s level of motivation, believing that he hardly has anything left to fight for. And to be fair, there’s a lot of truth in that statement. He’s won Championships, he’s made more money than he knows what to do with.

In such cases, it’s hard to stay motivated, but the Irishman has made it clear that his current run is about his legacy and proving he’s still among the cream of the crop. That type of motivation is different, but it may still work.

When speaking to TMZ Sports (H/T Asian Persuasion MMA), Dana White revealed that the UFC Doctor said McGregor is in the best shape that he’s ever seen him:

He reiterated what he said before about being shocked at the level of disrespect shown to the veteran Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone:

He believes that a fight like this is perfectly catered to Cerrone, making him a big threat:

He believes the dynamic will be interesting at Welterweight since Cerrone has fought in that division multiple times while Conor McGregor barely makes it to 168 or 169 pounds.
