Conor McGregor is the biggest name in the world of combat sports. He made MMA what it is today by having a vision for himself and the sport when he first started. Always sharp with his talks and his skills, McGregor has left a mark on many in the sport. His return is much awaited as he coaches TUF season 31 against Michael Chandler. Let’s take a look at what Conor McGregor’s back tattoo is all about.
The Irish man is a coach on the ultimate fighter, where his team would go against Chandler’s team. The date for both of them to fight is not confirmed yet.
Conor McGregor back tattoo:
Many of the MMA fighters have tattoos all over their body. Some tattoos signify something, while others don’t. Likewise, even Conor McGregor has a lot of tattoos on him. He has a tattoo on his chest, on his belly, on his hand and on his back too.
Conor McGregor has a crucifix on his neck that runs down all the way as a continuation in a thorny helix that runs along McGregor’s back. In Christian faith, the crucifix holds the importance as it represents the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
The Tattoo might suggest that Conor McGregor is a believer of Christian faith, but he denies any political or religious affiliations. He also tweeted in 2015 which was pretty much against politics and religion.
“My gym’s logo is Gorilla, it’s not that particular gorilla, but I wanted to get something along those lines. I feel like I am the king Gorilla, so I stuck the king’s crown and I have a big heart” – Conor McGregor on his chest tattoo.
Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler:
Conor McGregor will face Michael Chandler, but the venue and the date haven’t been confirmed yet. McGregor will have to enter the USADA pool first, as he has been out of the competition for a long time. Conor McGregor suffered an injury in his last fight against Dustin Poirier where he broke his foot.
As of now, it has not been confirmed whether McGregor has entered the USADA pool or not. Once a fighter enters the USADA pool, he has to stay in it for 6 months before he fights. There is a lot of confusion as to when the fight will take place, as time is one of the factors.
The coaches usually face each other during the finale. This, however, doesn’t seem to be possible in this case. The fans are eagerly waiting for the announcement of the date and the venue.
