There’s no doubt that Conor McGregor has made a lasting impact wherever he’s stepped, from his business ventures to his UFC career, where he was at the top. Now, as a co-owner of BKFC, he’s eyeing the title as a fighter. However, former UFC star and BKFC fighter Dustin Pague doesn’t seem convinced. He doesn’t believe McGregor will become a champion in BKFC, questioning whether McGregor has the drive to succeed in the sport.

Dustin Pague shared his thoughts on Conor McGregor’s aspirations to claim a BKFC title, dismissing them by saying McGregor lacks the hunger needed to succeed. He believes that without a strong drive or real thirst for a championship, fighters like McGregor will eventually look for an exit. According to Pague, if McGregor faces a tough challenge and gets hurt, he might quit instead of pushing through.

He said, “I just don’t see that ever happening. And I think he’s at that point in his life, that with the fame and the money. I just don’t think he has that hunger to be successful.”

If McGregor stays in his zone and pushes himself to be the best, there’s no doubt he could become a champion. Dustin Poirier shares a similar view, believing that McGregor’s potential is undeniable if he channels his focus and drive.
