He says he&#8217;s studied the careers of other athletes \u2014 both inside and outside the combat sports industry \u2014 as he readies for the next chapter of his life. Based on his comments, it sounds like this research was a big part of his decision to launch ventures like his Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey and his August McGregor fashion line.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Conor McGregor talks Reebok shoe launch, sings Biggie &#039;Hypnotize&#039; and life after fighting\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jg2K8HhVsps?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAthletic life is short right?

So, I have studied many athletes\u2019 careers both in combat sport and in professional sport and just analyzed it. I saw the do\u2019s and the don\u2019t and things that can create an afterlife in the game. For, me I\u2019ve just gone down things I\u2019m passionate about. I went down the fight game because I\u2019m passionate about it \u2013 I wouldn\u2019t have reached the levels I\u2019ve reached in the fight game without having passion for it.
