Former two-division UFC champion in the 66 kg and 70 kg weight classes, 37-year-old Irish fighter Conor McGregor, has stated that he has found salvation in religion and is therefore now preparing to return to MMA.
According to İdman.Biz, McGregor announced that he was saved by following God's path.
"I am not here by chance. There is a higher power that determines the path for me and each of us. I live by the word of God. After the last tournament I participated in, I embarked on a spiritual journey and now I believe that I have achieved salvation.
Now this world is waiting for something special. The fire of competition that once burned in my heart is rekindling. That's why I'm so inspired and excited.
I had to pull myself together and I did. I want to leave a legacy to people in MMA. I am currently at a stage in my career where I am preparing to come back and show my abilities," - AgFight quoted McGregor as saying.
