Conor McGregor is the biggest star to ever come out of the UFC. 'The Notorious' has millions of fans all over the world who stick their eyes to the screen every he comes to fight. Even people who do not watch the sport know about the 32-year-old superstar.
'Mystic Mac' started his MMA career all the way back in 2008 in Dublin, Ireland. After winning 12 out of his first 14 fights, the Irishman was called up by the UFC to compete in the featherweight division. McGregor went through the competition like a knife through butter.
It took 'The Notorious' less than three years in the UFC to capture featherweight gold. At UFC 194, it took McGregor only 13 seconds to knock out Aldo and become the new featherweight king of the UFC.
McGregor again created history at UFC 205 when he finished Eddie Alvarez in the second round to win the lightweight title. In doing so, he became the first man in the promotion's history to hold two championships at the same time.
Throughout his epic journey, the Irishman has always had strong support from his fans. The Irish fans are so loyal that they come all the way from Ireland to Las Vegas to watch 'The Notorious' fight. It is this support of the people that has made the Irishman the star that he is today.
Let's take a look at five of the best interactions UFC star Conor McGregor has had with fans:
#5 Conor McGregor shadow boxing in front of a crowd on the Fourth of July
Ahead of his fight with Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor was greeted by a mob of fans when he left a restaurant in the early hours of the Fourth of July. The fans, who were waiting outside to see the Irishman, started chanting McGregor's name. 'The Notorious' also entertained the public by shadow boxing in front of them.
#4 Conor McGregor arrives late at the UFC 205 press conference
Conor McGregor was scheduled to take on UFC 155-pound champion Eddie Alvarez in a title match at UFC 205. The Irishman failed to make it on time for the pre-fight press conference. When McGregor finally arrived, showing off his dance moves, all eyes were on him as fans chanted his name at the top of their lungs.
This is where the 32-year-old gave a memorable speech:
"The Irish are back. We have taken back control of New York City. I run New York city. I'm a f------g pimp, rocking Gucci mink and without me, this whole f-----g ship sink!"
At different points in the press conference. 'The Notorious' grabbed Alvarez's belt, showed off his Gucci mink coat and attempted to hit his opponent with a chair.
Conor McGregor gave one of the best performances of his career when he defeated 'The Underground King' to become the first champ-champ in the promotion.

#3 Conor McGregor turns hostile on the Brazilian fans
The world tour of UFC 189 took a stop in Jose Aldo's country of Brazil. Conor McGregor was not the fan favorite here and was being booed by the public. But the Irishman was not deterred by the hostile crowd. McGregor stayed calm and confident and went on to deliver some of his most iconic lines in the UFC:
"I own this town. I own Rio de Janeiro... So, for him to say he is the king and I am the joker, If this was a different time, I would invade his favela on horseback and kill anyone that was not fit to work. But we are in a new time, so I'll whoop his a-- in July."
The fight did not ultimately take place at UFC 189 as Aldo pulled out. McGregor instead fought and defeated Chad Mendes to become the interim 145-pound champion.
#2 Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather Toronto press conference
The world tour for the boxing match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather was full of exciting and entertaining moments. But the highlight of the tour was clearly the press conference that took place in Toronto, Canada. The Irishman was on full-form and kept throwing hilarious insults at the boxing legend:
"You are forty years of age. Dress your f-----g age. Carrying a school bag onstage. What are you doing with a school bag onstage? You can't even read!"
At one point, McGregor had the whole Canadian crowd in the palm of his hand when he started telling them to shout "F--- the Mayweathers." The crowd happily obliged, making for an amazing moment during the press tour.
'The Notorious' delivered an impressive performance against Mayweather. After doing really well in the early rounds, McGregor eventually gassed out and Mayweather, using his experience and superior boxing skills, defeated him in the 10th round of the fight.
Ever since the fight, McGregor has been asking for a rematch. Mayweather also expressed interest in fighting 'The Notorious' again during the lead up to his fight against Logan Paul. So, there is still a real possibility that we might see a rematch between the two superstars soon.

The number one entry on this list is the time Conor McGregor grabbed ahold of Jose Aldo's UFC belt and started flaunting it in front of the crowd. It was an amazingly wild moment that showed 'The Notorious' is not afraid of anyone.
The fans went crazy and started screaming, showing their support for the Irishman. With the help of these antics and trash-talk, McGregor got into Aldo's head. This ultimately led to the Brazilian fighter's downfall as he was knocked out by the Irishman in the opening seconds of the fight.
