Conor McGregor, a 35-year-old Irish lad, embarked on an action-packed MMA journey in March of 2008, setting the stage for a remarkable career.
McGregor became famous after the world saw his outstanding performance in the Cage Warriors fight. His face-smashing skills and inhuman tenacity were enough to impress the viewers, and in 2012, he won both the Featherweight and Lightweight titles. The rest was history.
Back in 2015, McGregor went up against Chad Mendes for the interim UFC Featherweight Championship and came out on top with a TKO victory. But this win opened another door for him: a fight with the long-reigning undisputed champ Jose Aldo. It took McGregor 13 seconds to show Jose who’s the real champion here. He shocked the world with a lightning-fast knockout and officially became the undisputed UFC Featherweight Champion.
This is where he started to get greedy and decided to move up to the lightweight division and squared off against Eddie Alvarez in November 2016. In this historic bout, Conor got an easy knockout victory, simultaneously holding the UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Championships and marking an unprecedented achievement in MMA.
