His distinct ways of promoting fights built hype around his fights. An excellent trash-talker, McGregor kept chasing greatness with all the ammo his arsenal had. Having dominated the featherweight and lightweight divisions of the UFC, Conor McGregor fought in two high-octane welterweight bouts. His trilogy with the lightweight sensation Dustin Poirier is one of the many memorable fights McGregor has fought in.
