"It's important for me to fight, but it's also important for me to take a step back, enjoy my family, enjoy my kids and not just be there, but really kind of be there."https://www.instagram.com/p/BTjHOxoAafB/ It's funny to think that someone who has consistently been slugging it out with some of the toughest fighters on the planet for over a decade could be afraid of anything. However, he admitted to TMZ that the prospect of fatherhood was something that rocked him more than any haymaker ever could.
"It's very terrifying because you're just not sure how you're going to do. There's no real book for it, you've just kind of do it and hope you're the right person to be a Dad."Just like he does inside the cage though, Alvarez bit down on his mouthpiece, walked into the storm and emerged as a winner. Although he's been the champion of pretty much every organisation he's ever fought for, being a Dad is still his greatest achievement to date.
"I've been a champion, I've been a lot of things, I've had no better success in my life, nothing better than being a Dad. That's my biggest success I've had so far."Former foe McGregor has just entered this major stage of his life with the birth of Conor Jr. Alvarez has been through all the wars that being a father brings and he predicts that the lightweight champion will be just as successful as a father as he has been as a mixed martial artist.
"He's doing quite well. I think he's going to do a good job. If he puts 10% of the effort into his child as he does fighting, I think he's gonna do dang good. So, I wish him the best of luck."Very kind words from the Underground King. Really showing his class.
