McGregor is a UFC legend
Conor McGregor began his adventure with the UFC in 2013, gaining immediate recognition for his ability to knock out opponents. The Irishman quickly climbed to the top of the sports rankings, winning championship titles in two different weight classes – featherweight and lightweight.
