Conor McGregor is an Irish professional mixed martial artist who has been active on the professional circuit since 2008. He is the first former double-division champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). McGregor registered this record under his name by defeating Chad Mendes, Jose Aldo, and Eddie Alvarez at UFC 189, UFC 194, and UFC 205 by second-round TKO, first-round TKO, and second-round TKO.

From a tough start, Conor McGregor rose against the odds and created a name for himself, which is now credited with the development of professional mixed martial arts into a lucrative fight business. 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. He injured his leg in his most recent fight while facing Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
