Investment Outlook
Conor McGregor will go down in history as one of the best MMA fighters of all time and one of the most popular (famous in terms of lots of people liking him and lots of people hating him, similar to LeBron James.).
The short-term ROI on McGregor RC shouldn’t be all that great and could decrease in the concise term.
Long-term however, they are a great buy as he is one of the MMA GOATS. Buy a Conor McGregor rookie card now, and you will look like a genius 20 years from now (especially once these younger pups have real jobs and are making money).
