Conor Anthony McGregor (Irish: Conchúr Antóin Mac Gréagóir;
born 14 July 1988) is an Irish professional mixed martial artist who is
currently signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He is the
reigning UFC Lightweight Champion, and former UFC Featherweight Champion.
During his career, McGregor has competed as a featherweight, lightweight, and
welterweight.
In 2008, McGregor started his mixed martial arts (MMA)
career and, in 2012, he won both the Cage Warriors Featherweight and
Lightweight Championships, holding both titles concurrently before vacating
them to sign with the UFC. In 2015, at UFC 194, McGregor defeated José Aldo for
the UFC Featherweight Championship via knockout thirteen seconds into the first
round. This was the fastest victory in UFC title fight history.[5] Upon
defeating Eddie Alvarez for the UFC Lightweight Championship at UFC 205,
McGregor became the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two weight
divisions simultaneously.
He is known for being the biggest pay-per-view draw in MMA
history, as well as his extravagant lifestyle and trash talking.[7] In 2016, he
was the first MMA fighter to crack into the Forbes top 100 highest paid
athletes list at #85 with $22 million[8] and was even higher in 2017, tied at
#24 with $34 million in total earnings.[9]
