McGregor definitely spent some money on a new image coach. Second child helps, as does watching his oldest grow up. Obviously the new image is worked on in unison with the UFC, who works with him too to get a perfect opponent, a well respected guy that everyone loves and that McGregor respects legit. Makes it easier for Connor not to get into some theatrical spat with the guy that escalated as has happened in the past and allows him to continue the calm image.

Cowboy gets his big paycheck as his golden parachute and McGregor gets his mojo back, gets positive momentum in his fight booking and having him bandwagon fill up, which is good for his brand and the UFC for the rest of 2020. He is now also ready to step in if Tony or Khabib pull out.

This next period will be the true rest to see in McGregor has dialed it back from his drinking and fighting Russians etc as he did before the Khabib fight, and dialed back just in general with his attitude and temper.

That's because, whoever he fights next won't be the gracious Cowboy,it's going to be someone that's going to try and drag him and his family and his past transgressions into the mud in the lead up and get him worked up, distracted, whatever...already started, as Usman went on a Twitter rant, Diaz also on twitter, and Mazvidal who wore the same Robe Connor wore during his boxing week, to the match last night.
