CONOR MCGREGOR IS set to appear naked for the ESPN magazine body issue this July.
On the set of the photo shoot, the UFC bodyweight champion joked, “If I’m doing the naked body shoot, I had to do a few push ups today.”
The Dubliner described himself as a kid who ‘went all the way’.
“Them Irish genes are good, they have served me well, we are made tough, we are made of steel.
I’m just a kid that defied the odds, I’m just a kid that ignored the doubt. I’m just a kid from Crumlin, Dublin who went all the way.
McGregor experienced his first defeat in the UFC in March but appears confident on set:
My family’s lineage, we are warriors. The McGregor clan, we are warriors all through. We are famous all through the world for our fighting capabilities of all generations.
“So I have no doubt that’s stood to me and that led me down this path and gave me what I have.”
