UFC legend Georges St-Pierre reckons that Conor McGregor needs a different approach and a fresh start after his loss to Dustin Poirier last weekend.
The Notorious one was knocked out by 'The Diamond' in the second round of their UFC 257 showdown in Abu Dhabi.
The result leaves McGregor at a crossroads in his career, and with a record of 3-3 in the UFC since 2016, the momentum he built during his rise to stardom has certainly dried up.
And St-Pierre thinks that McGregor needs to make definitive changes within his life and training to be 'reborn'.
Citing his own experience of finding a new approach following a big loss, the Canadian thinks that McGregor needs to target the area he believes led to the loss and try to right those wrongs.
“I think he needs to be reborn,” St-Pierre said on Michael Bisping’s Believe You Me podcast .
“He needs to change things in his training and in his life that he believes were the causes for his failure. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not as long as he believes.
“So in my case, when I lost to Matt Serra, I trained myself to believe that I lost to Matt Serra because I underestimated him.
"Maybe I wasn’t scared enough, maybe I didn’t put too much in training, that’s what I tried to force myself to believe. Maybe it’s not true, but the important part is that he believes in it so he can build on his confidence from it.
“He needs to find what he thinks he did wrong in his previous preparation leading up to the fight, whether it’s his training leading up to his fight or whatever, and not make the same mistake twice.”
