The Dubliner has achieved more in three years with the UFC than anyone in the 20 year history of the organization. From an unknown prospect to the first man to hold two world titles simultaneously, McGregor's knockout-filled march through the featherweight and lightweight rankings sent shockwaves through the world. But as effortless as McGregor's heroics seem, his journey was far from smooth. Just another teenager trading martial arts techniques with his friends, he chased a pipe dream with little promise of reward. No one guessed he would become the biggest pay-per-view attraction in the world. This is not another tale of an athlete born exceptional and groomed for success. It is about how one young man, through bloody-minded determination and indomitable spirit, changed the whole game.

Great book if you want to understand the fundamentals of mixed martial arts. The book reflects less on McGregor the person, the showman ship and hype, and more on his fighting style and how it translated to his success in MMA.

Fascinating Look At MMA Through The Fights of Conor McGregor
Conor McGregor is the biggest superstar the young sport of MMA has ever known. A brash trash talker with a cannon for a left hand and a way of proving his critics wrong. Jack Slack is the best MMA writer around and my favourite sports writer. Notorious looks at the rise of Ireland's favourite son through the lens of each of his fights.Each fight gets broken down blow-by-blow and it's more an examination of Mixed Martial Arts and its evolution than just a book about McGregor. A fantastic book that is a must for any MMA fan or student of the Martial Arts.

Much better than the PVZ book.
I've been following Slacks work for several years now, and this is one of his greatest pieces.A fascinating view into the rise of one of the greatest stars of MMA ever, at least in terms of popularity, and into the MMA world in general.

In this book Jack has documented the career of Conor McGregor from a confident slugger to a measured sharpshooter and breaks down the improvements McGregor has made along the way.Notorious is an unbiased and informative account of where Conor McGregor fits into the landscape of MMA and touches on a number of relevant topics such as fighter pay, marketing and fighter safety. He gives Conor credit where it's due for his exceptional talents whilst acknowledging plenty of the controversies that surround 'The Notorious' Conor. It covers all the topics I wish people understood about McGregor but don't have the time to tell them!It's an exceptional read. The chapter on the Nate Diaz rematch was particularly thrilling and managed to bring back some of the nerves of watching the fight live.

Wonderful - the previous note was not meant for this book so please ignore. I’m an admirer of Connor and this book tells his life and his natural ability to overcome anything. Last post was not for this book so please ignore it

Nicht wie erwartet
Ich bin eher unzufrieden. Das Buch wirkt mehr wie ein oberflächlicher Bericht statt einer Biographie. Allerdings gefielen mir die Insider zum Kampfsport an sich ganz gut, die immer mal wieder im Buch auftauchen. Wer etwas über McGregor erfahren will, was er noch nicht weiß ist hier falsch. Wer generell über den MMA-Sport lernen will dem empfehle ich das Buch
