Conor McGregor has claimed that a rare ‘superpower’ was behind the tremendous accuracy that led to his most famous victories.
The UFC legend has won gold at featherweight and lightweight, landing infamous knockouts over the likes of Jose Aldo, Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier on his run to two belts. And he claims it was all down to one advantage he holds over not just his UFC rivals, but the majority of the population.
Now, McGregor appears to be at the tail end of his career and may never fight again. He hasn’t fought in four years, and seems more interested in his run for President of Ireland than his efforts to get back into the octagon.

Conor McGregor’s 20/10 vision put him ahead of 99 per cent of the world
Conor McGregor took to social media on Friday night as he began to plot his latest return to the octagon, and let slip one big factor that led to his success in the octagon. He claimed to have 20/10 vision in one eye, which puts him above 99 per cent of the population for his ocular ability.
“My accuracy is my superpower,” McGregor wrote to his over 60million followers across X and Instagram. “Most do not know this, but in my right eye I have 20/10 vision. I am of the 1% of humans that has this. In my left, I am 20/20.
“Accuracy is final. I’ve most KO’s of all by a long shot and I’ve been chilling on my yachts the last 4 years. To return at the White House with my sniper accuracy would be a very intriguing offer and would bring me back in to focus on my return correctly. Vote McGregor.”
Conor McGregor wants UFC comeback on special White House event
McGregor has spent the day pushing for a spot on the recently-announced UFC event that is being slated for next year on the White House lawn. President Donald Trump announced plans for a mega-fight next year, which has attracted a number of top stars in the sport.
“We’re going to have a UFC fight,” Trump said during a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Thursday. “Think of this on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. We’re gonna build a little, we’re not, Dana’s gonna do it… Dana is great.
“One of a kind. We’re going to have a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like, 25,000 people. We’re going to do that as part of 250 also. We’re going to have some incredible events, some professional events, some amateur events, but the UFC fight’s gonna be a big deal.”
Following the announcement, McGregor took to X and wrote: “Happy 4th of July, USA. Excited with President Trump announcing a UFC fight event at the White House. I would be honoured! Count me in!”
