⁠Conor Mcgregor: MMA, UFC record, stats, next & past fights

Conor McGregor was born on July 14, 1988, in Dublin, Ireland. He is a name synonymous with the world of combat sports. A versatile athlete, McGregor has left an indelible mark as both a professional mixed martial artist and a boxer. This profile dives into McGregor’s life, career, controversies, and his journey from a young boy in Crumlin to becoming a global sports icon.

Early Life and Introduction to Combat Sports

Growing up in Crumlin, McGregor attended Irish-language schools, fostering his love for sports, particularly football. At the age of 12, he began boxing at Crumlin Boxing Club, not only as a sport but also as a means to stand up against bullies and boost his confidence. His family’s move to Lucan marked a crucial phase as McGregor, alongside future UFC fighter Tom Egan, delved into mixed martial arts (MMA) at the Straight Blast Gym (SBG) in Dublin under coach John Kavanagh.

Amateur and Early Professional Career

In 2007, at 18, McGregor made his amateur MMA debut, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey. He turned professional in 2008, winning his first bout as a lightweight against Gary Morris. Despite a setback with a loss, McGregor’s career gained momentum with a featherweight championship in Cage Warriors Fighting Championship (CWFC), becoming the first European MMA fighter to hold titles in two divisions simultaneously.

UFC Debut and Featherweight Ascendancy

In 2013, McGregor signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), quickly establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with. His debut against Marcus Brimage ended with a first-round knockout, earning him the “Knockout of the Night” award. McGregor’s relentless pursuit of success led to a featherweight title fight against José Aldo at UFC 194 in 2015. McGregor’s iconic 13-second knockout made him the undisputed UFC Featherweight Champion, marking the fastest finish in a title bout in UFC history.

Champion in Two Weight Classes

McGregor’s appetite for challenges led him to Nate Diaz in 2016, where he suffered his first UFC loss but avenged it later that year. In a historic move, McGregor faced Eddie Alvarez in 2016, securing a second-round knockout and becoming the first fighter to hold UFC championships in two weight classes simultaneously.

Business Ventures and Personal Life

Beyond the octagon, McGregor’s charisma and marketability have translated into successful business ventures. His endorsements include deals with Beats by Dre, Monster Energy, Reebok, Bud Light, and Burger King. McGregor’s fashion partnership with David August resulted in “August McGregor,” offering modern suits. He also ventured into the spirits industry, launching Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey in 2018, which later saw a major deal with Proximo Spirits in 2021.

Wife and children

In his personal life, McGregor is in a long-standing relationship with Dee Devlin, with whom he has four children. The Notorious is a devout Catholic and a football enthusiast supporting Celtic, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain, McGregor’s life extends beyond sports.

Controversies and Legal Issues

McGregor’s journey hasn’t been without controversies. Driving offenses, an incident at Bellator 187, a bus attack at UFC 223 media day, and the infamous UFC 229 post-fight melee with Khabib Nurmagomedov have kept him in the headlines. Despite legal repercussions, McGregor remains a magnetic figure in the fight world.
