Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor is an Irish professional mixed martial artist from Dublin, born on 14 July 1988. He turned professional in 2008, won the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight titles in 2012 and signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2013. In the UFC he took the interim and then the undisputed featherweight title, famously knocking out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds at UFC 194, and in 2016 became the first fighter to hold UFC titles in two weight classes at once by beating Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight belt. He also fought boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a 2017 bout that sold more than five million pay-per-view buys, and lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. He is regarded as the biggest pay-per-view draw in the history of the sport.
