UFC megastar Conor McGregor is truly an inspirational figure when comes to success in the sports world. A common man hailing from a small town in Ireland stunned the whole world when he became the first ever UFC champion to clinch two weight-divisions titles at the same time. What was deemed impossible, the Irishman made possible. Arguably, one of the greatest strikers in MMA history, the 34-year-old’s tunnel vision, and mindset are really commendable. He inspired many athletes of this generation through his priceless thoughts that hit the soul.
One such message recently caught lightweight king Devin Haney‘s attention. The reigning undisputed lightweight champion shared it on his Instagram story. The 24-year-old young star often shares things but this message is certainly a powerful one. It was about one’s own family that remains with a person during the worst phase when everyone turns their backs.

To which ‘The Notorious’ replied, “I don’t eat with people I don’t starve with. I will eat with my own. I don’t try and bring people in and have this kind of fake thing. Don’t share a dinner table with people you wouldn’t starve with. So the three people I will invite are my mother, my father, and my family.”
The former champion often talked about his love for his family and loyal friends. He is a happily married man who always wanted to give back to his loved ones. He often shares pictures with them. Similarly, Haney also admires his father Bill Haney’s role in his life who trains him and backs him in the corner during his fights.
