Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog
Conor Anthony McGregor (born 14 July 1988) is an Irish

professional mixed martial artist, professional
boxer, businessman, and actor. He is a former Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC) Featherweight and Lightweight
Champion, becoming the rst UFC ghter to hold UFC
championships in two weight classes simultaneously.[10] He is
also a former simultaneous Cage Warriors (CW) Featherweight
and Lightweight Champion.
McGregor is the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) draw in mixed

martial arts (MMA) history, having headlined the ve highest-
selling UFC PPV events.[11] His bout with Khabib
Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 drew 2.4 million PPV buys, the
most ever for an MMA event.[12] His debut professional boxing
match, during which he was defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr.,
[13] drew over 5.3 million buys across the United States and the
United Kingdom.[14][15][16]
McGregor was ranked as the world's highest-paid

athlete by Forbes in 2021, earning a reported $180 million.
[17] He also featured in the list in 2018, when he was ranked
fourth, with a reported income of $99 million.[18] Throughout his

career, McGregor has become the subject of many
controversies due to his behaviour, ranging from driving
offences to assault, disorderly conduct and sexual assault. In
2024, a civil court in Ireland found that he assaulted and raped

fi
fi
fi
a woman in December 2018, ordering him to pay
nearly €250,000 in compensation; the Garda Síochána had
previously investigated the incident, but prosecutors did not
pursue criminal charges.
Early life
Conor Anthony McGregor[19] was born in Dublin, Ireland.[1] He
was raised in Crumlin and attended Irish-language schools —
the Gaelscoil Scoil Mológa, in Harold's Cross, at primary level,
and Gaelcholáiste Coláiste de hÍde in Tallaght at secondary
level, where he also developed his passion for sport,
playing football.[20]
In his youth, he played football for Lourdes Celtic Football Club.

[21] At the age of 12, he also began boxing at Crumlin Boxing
Club,[22][23] as a way to defend himself against bullies and raise

his con dence.
In 2006, McGregor moved with his family to Lucan, Dublin,

attending Gaelcholáiste Coláiste Cois Life. Following that, he
commenced a plumbing apprenticeship.[24] While in Lucan, he
met future UFC ghter Tom Egan and they soon started
training mixed martial arts (MMA) together.[25] Among his
inspirations growing up were Naseem Hamed, Muhammad Ali,
and Bruce Lee.[26][27]
Amateur mixed martial arts career

On 17 February 2007, at the age of 18, McGregor made his
mixed martial arts debut in an amateur ght against Kieran
Campbell for the Irish Ring of Truth promotion in Dublin. He
won via technical knockout (TKO) in the rst round. Following
the ght, he turned professional and was signed by the Irish
Cage of Truth promotion. In 2008, McGregor began training at
the Straight Blast Gym (SBG) in Dublin under John Kavanagh.

Professional mixed martial arts careerEarly career (2008–
2013)
On 9 March 2008, McGregor had his rst professional MMA
bout, as a lightweight, defeating Gary Morris with a second-
round TKO. After McGregor won his second ght against Mo
Taylor, he made his featherweight debut in a loss
via kneebar against submission specialist Artemij Sitenkov.
After a victory at featherweight in his next bout against Stephen
Bailey, McGregor contemplated a different career path before
his mother contacted his coach John Kavanagh and
reinvigorated him to continue pursuing mixed martial arts.[29]
McGregor then won his next ght, also at featherweight,

against Connor Dillon, before moving back to lightweight for a
ght against Joseph Duffy, in which he received his second
professional loss after submitting to an arm-triangle choke.
Following this, during 2011 and 2012, McGregor went on an
eight- ght winning streak,[30] during which he won both the
CWFC Featherweight and Lightweight championships, making
him the rst European professional mixed martial artist to hold
titles in two divisions simultaneously.[31]
In February 2013, UFC president Dana White made a trip to

Dublin, Ireland to receive a Gold Medal of Honorary Patronage
from Trinity College and was inundated with requests to sign
McGregor to the UFC. After a meeting with McGregor, and
talking with UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta, White offered him a
contract days later.[32]
Ultimate Fighting Championship (2013–present)2013

In February 2013, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
announced that they had signed McGregor to a multi- ght
contract.[33] In joining, he became only the second ghter from
Ireland to compete for the company, following team member
Tom Egan.

On 6 April 2013, McGregor made his UFC debut
against Marcus Brimage at UFC on Fuel TV: Mousasi vs. Lati .
[34] He won the ght by knockout in round one.[35] The win also
earned McGregor his rst "Knockout of the Night" award.[36]
McGregor was expected to face Andy Ogle on 17 August 2013

at UFC Fight Night 26, but Ogle pulled out of the bout citing an
injury and was replaced by eventual UFC Featherweight
Champion Max Holloway.[37] McGregor won the ght by
unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, and 30–26). Following the
bout with Holloway, an MRI scan revealed that McGregor had
torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during the bout and
would require surgery, keeping him out of action for up to ten
months.[38]
2014
McGregor was expected to face Cole Miller on 19 July 2014,
at UFC Fight Night 46 in his comeback bout after recovering
from his ACL injury.[39] However, Miller pulled out of the bout
citing a thumb injury and was replaced by Diego Brandão.
[40] McGregor fought Brandão in front of a loud, rowdy crowd of
9,500 at The O2 in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland. The ght

was of cially halted by referee Leon Roberts at 4:05 of the rst
round. The win earned McGregor his rst Performance of the
Night award.[41]
Prior to his next bout, McGregor met with Lorenzo Fertitta and
signed a new multi- ght contract with the UFC. McGregor next
faced Dustin Poirier on 27 September 2014, at UFC 178.
[42] Despite McGregor landing only 9 signi cant strikes to
Poirier's 10, he managed to secure a victory early on in the rst

round, by pressuring Poirier onto his back foot, before
exploding with a left hook behind Poirier's ear, forcing referee
Herb Dean to step in to end the ght. The nish of cially came
at 1:46 into the rst round.[43][44] This marked Poirier's rst UFC
loss via KO/TKO, and earned McGregor his second straight
"Performance of the Night" award.[45]

McGregor (right), Dana White (middle) and José Aldo (left) in London as
part of the World Tour promoting UFC 189 in March 2015
Interim Featherweight Championship bout
The highly anticipated bout with Aldo was announced on 30
January 2015, at the UFC 183 Q&A. McGregor declared that
he was expected to face Aldo on 11 July 2015 at UFC 189 for
the undisputed UFC Featherweight Championship, during the
UFC's annual International Fight Week. The ght took place at
the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.[50] The
UFC, con dent that the ght would exceed expectations,
increased the promotional budget for the event, with company
Dana White stating that "[the UFC] spent more money
promoting Aldo–McGregor than any ght in UFC history."[51]
The ght against Aldo was announced on 30 January 2015, at

the UFC 183 and both McGregor and Aldo embarked on a 12-
day world tour, during which eight cities in ve countries were
visited, including Aldo's home country of Brazil (Rio de Janeiro)
and McGregor's hometown of Dublin. The tour began in Rio de
Janeiro on 20 March, and completed in Dublin on 31 March.
[52] However, on 23 June, it was reported that Aldo had suffered
a rib fracture and had pulled out of the bout as a consequence.

[53][54] McGregor remained on the card and was rescheduled to
face Chad Mendes for the Interim Featherweight

Championship.[55] The of cial attendance for the event, 16,019,
broke the record in Nevada, while the gate of $7,200,000 broke
the record for a mixed martial arts event in the United States.
[56] Prior to the ght, McGregor's entrance song, "The Foggy
Dew", was sung live by Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad

Interim Featherweight Championship.[58][59]
McGregor then took part in UFC's The Ultimate Fighter, in

which he coached against Urijah Faber.[60] Faber's team
member Ryan Hall ended up winning the competition.
Featherweight Championship uni cation bout

On 10 August, it was announced that the event would take
place on 12 December, and McGregor would face José Aldo for
the UFC Featherweight Championship.[61] At the weigh-ins, both
McGregor and Aldo achieved the weight limit of 145 pounds.[62]
[63] McGregor knocked out Aldo thirteen seconds into the rst
round with a left hook, ending his seven-year-

long WEC and UFC title reign and eighteen- ght win streak to
claim the title, earning the "Performance of the Night" bonus as
well.[64][65] This nish marked the fastest knockout in a title bout
in UFC history.[66]
2016First UFC loss
McGregor in 2016
McGregor faced The Ultimate Fighter Season 5 winner, and
former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Nate Diaz on
5 March 2016 at UFC 196 in a welterweight bout.[67] On 24
February 2016, a press conference was held to help promote
the new main event, with both men trading insults.[68] At the
Thursday pre- ght press conference on 3 March, McGregor
and Diaz engaged in a brief scuf e during a face-off, after
McGregor landed a strike on Diaz's lead hand.[69]
The ght began with combination in the rst round, Diaz

returned re with two consecutive hooks, one a slap, a
signature of Nate and his brother, Nick Diaz, termed the
"Stockton Slap". McGregor had success with his bodywork, but
Diaz began to land combinations of his own. After a one-two
punches from Diaz, McGregor attempted a double leg

fi

takedown, which Diaz defended by sprawling. Diaz then
threatened the guillotine choke, which forced McGregor onto
his back after stopping McGregor from scrambling and Diaz
secured the mount and secured a rear naked choke. McGregor
tapped to the submission at 4:12 into the second round.[70][71]
[72] Both competitors were awarded "Fight of the Night" bonuses,
and McGregor received the highest disclosed purse of any

ghter in the history of the company to that point, at
$1,000,000.[73][74] McGregor was critical of his own performance
while praising Diaz, saying "I was inef cient with my energy. It
was a battle of energy and he got the better of that."[75]
Rematch with Nate Diaz

A rematch with Diaz was scheduled for 9 July at UFC 200;
however, on 19 April, the UFC announced that McGregor had
been pulled from the event after failing to ful l media
obligations related to the ght.[76][77][78] In turn, the ght with
McGregor was rescheduled and took place the following month,
contested again at welterweight, at UFC 202.[79] McGregor won
the rematch via majority decision (48–47, 47–47, and 48–47).
[80] The bout was once again awarded "Fight of the Night"
honours.[81] The event broke the record previously held by UFC

100 for the highest selling pay-per-view in UFC history, with
1,650,000 buys.[82]
Two–division champion
On 27 September, it was of cially announced that McGregor's
next bout would be against Eddie Alvarez for the UFC
Lightweight Championship on 12 November at UFC 205.
[83] After dropping Alvarez multiple times throughout the rst
round, McGregor landed a multiple-punch combination to stop

his opponent via technical knockout in the second round.[84] This
result marked the rst time a competitor had held UFC
championships in two different weight classes, and also
repeated McGregor's feat during his career at Cage Warriors.[85]
[86] This win earned him the "Performance of the Night", and it is

fi
fi
fi
fi
fi

fi

widely considered one of McGregor's best performances inside
the octagon.[87][88][89]
Stripping of Featherweight Championship

On 26 November, due to his inactivity in the division, it was
initially announced that McGregor had vacated the
Featherweight Championship, therefore promoting José Aldo to
undisputed champion.[90] McGregor's coach, however,
con rmed further reports which stated that McGregor had
actually been stripped of the title.[91]
2017
After winning the lightweight championship at UFC 205,
McGregor announced he would take time off from the UFC to
wait for the birth of his rst child due in 2017.[92] McGregor spent
the majority of his public appearances in early-2017
campaigning for a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
[93] After months of negotiations, the two nally came to terms
on 14 June 2017 and announced the match to take place on 26

August.[94] The match ultimately ended in the 10th round with a
victory by TKO for Mayweather.[13]
2018
After the conclusion of UFC 223 on 7 April, McGregor was
stripped of the UFC Lightweight Championship due to
inactivity[10] and Khabib Nurmagomedov was crowned the
undisputed champion after defeating Al Iaquinta at the event.[95]
On 3 August, it was announced that McGregor would return to

the octagon for the rst time since November 2016 at UFC
229 to challenge the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov for
the UFC Lightweight Championship on 6 October.[96] This bout
was considered one of the biggest contests in the history of the
sport and it was lled with pre- ght hype.[97][98][99] Nurmagomedov
submitted McGregor with a neck crank in the fourth round.[100][101]
2019

fi
fi

On 26 March 2019, McGregor announced his retirement on
social media.[102][103] However, Dana White viewed this
announcement as a ploy to secure an ownership stake in the
company,[104][105] with White later suggesting his retirement would
not last and that he had been in regular contact with him and
stated he would ght again in the future.[106] McGregor had
previously tweeted that he wanted a rematch with Khabib
Nurmagomedov and that he would see him in the Octagon.[107]
[108]
2020
After over a year away from the Octagon, McGregor
faced Donald Cerrone in a welterweight bout on 18 January
2020 at UFC 246.[109] He won the ght via technical knockout 40
seconds into the rst round.[110] This win earned him
a Performance of the Night award.[111] The win made McGregor
the rst UFC ghter to hold knockout nishes in the
featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight divisions.[112] On 6
June 2020, McGregor announced once more that he was
retiring from ghting.[113]
2021
Despite talks of retirement, McGregor was booked to face
former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Dustin
Poirier in a rematch of their 2014 bout at UFC 257 on 24
January 2021.[114] He lost the ght via technical knockout in the
second round, marking the rst knockout loss in his career.
[115] McGregor was later handed a 6–month medical suspension
after the knockout.[116]
McGregor faced Dustin Poirier for a third time on 10 July 2021

at UFC 264.[117] McGregor lost the ght via technical knockout in
round one after the ringside doctor stopped the bout. McGregor
had rolled his ankle while stepping back, resulting in a broken
lower tibia which rendered him unable to continue.[118][119][120]

After the layoff nursing his leg injury, McGregor coached The
Ultimate Fighter 31 for the second time with the opposing
coach being Michael Chandler. Filming of the show started in
February 2023[121] and aired on television from May to August
2023.[122] The show led to McGregor being scheduled to ght in
a welterweight bout against Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29,
2024.[123] Following speculation on the ght's status due to an
abruptly canceled press conference,[124][125] the UFC of cially
announced the ght's cancellation on June 13, 2024, citing an
injury (broken toe) sustained by McGregor.[126]
Mixed martial arts fighting style

McGregor is known mostly as a counter-striker[127][128] and
prefers to ght standing up, as opposed to on the ground. He is
known for his striking precision and knockout power.
[129] McGregor is left-handed and primarily ghts out of
the southpaw stance, but often switches to an orthodox stance.

He will frequently try to be the aggressor in his bouts.
[1] McGregor's boxing is typically considered his best skill, with
the majority of his victories coming by way of knockout or

technical knockout via punches.[23] Many pundits cite
McGregor's pull-back left-handed counter as his most
dangerous strike.[130][131][132]
McGregor's signature style off arena is to repeatedly engage

in trash talk and "psychological warfare" against his opponents,
which has led to earning him the moniker 'The
Notorious'[133] and has brought comparisons with Muhammad
Ali, whom McGregor cites as one of his early inspirations.[134][135]
[136][137] After Ali died in June 2016, McGregor opined that
"nobody will ever come close to [Ali's] greatness".[138]

[139] McGregor has also cited Bruce Lee as an inspiration,[140] and
compared himself to Lee.[141] During the buildup to his bout

against Donald Cerrone and the rematch against Dustin Poirier,
McGregor was respectful towards his opponents and refrained

fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
from trash talking.[142][143] However, McGregor heavily used trash
talk in the build up to his trilogy ght with Poirier.[144]
Professional boxing careerMcGregor vs. Mayweather Jr.

Main article: Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor
On 14 June 2017, it was announced that McGregor would
compete in his rst professional boxing match against the
undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr., on 26 August 2017 at T-
Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The ght was broadcast on
Showtime PPV in the US and Sky Sports Box Of ce in the UK.
[145] The bout was contested at super welterweight (154 pounds)
with 8 oz. gloves.[146][147] The ght was expected to be the richest

in boxing history.[148]
On 24 August 2017, it was announced that Mayweather and

McGregor would compete for the WBC Money Belt.
[149] According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission,
Mayweather would earn a guaranteed purse of $100 million

and McGregor was guaranteed $30 million.[150] The match
resulted in Mayweather winning via TKO in the 10th round, with
the scorecards reading 87–83, 89–82, and 89–81, all in favour
of Mayweather. The Nevada State Athletic Commission
announced the live gate for the event was $55,414,865.79 from
13,094 tickets sold.[151] Given the success in pay-per-views,
Mayweather reportedly earned around $280 million overall,
while McGregor came out with earning $130 million.[152]
Political endeavoursResponse to the 2023 Dublin riots

On 23 November 2023, in response to the stabbing of a woman
and three children in Dublin, McGregor made multiple anti-
immigration statements, tweeting that "Ireland is at war". In
response to a tweet by Britain First leader Paul Golding calling
on McGregor to lead a "freedom march", McGregor condemned
the riots that followed the stabbings but tweeted "Ashling
Murphy murdered. Two Sligo men decapitated. This is NOT
Ireland's future! If they do not act soon with their plan of action
to ensure Ireland's safety, I will." He also called for the man

fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
who perpetrated the stabbings to be "tortured and killed".[153] It
was reported on 28 November that McGregor was being
investigated as part of a criminal probe into incitement to
hatred, following his social media statements following the
stabbings.[154]
2023 Israel–Hamas war

On 26 November 2023, McGregor criticised Taoiseach Leo
Varadkar for his views on immigration and for his failure to
mention the Palestinian militant group Hamas when he wrote
about an Irish hostage released by the group, in which he
described her as "an innocent child who was lost".[155]
Potential run for of ce

It was reported in December 2023 that McGregor was
considering running for the of ce of President of Ireland,[156] to
which Elon Musk posted on X "Not a bad idea."[157] As to why he
would run, McGregor said, "Among many other things, the
allocation of our nation's funds has been nothing short of
criminal, and without an iota of consideration for the public's
thinking. ... Our people feel ignored. Unheard. Until of course
election time. Then the waf e begins."[156] A poll that month
found that 8 percent of people polled would vote for McGregor
for of ce, while 89 percent said they would not.[158]
Business venturesEndorsements
McGregor has endorsement deals with Beats by Dre, Monster
Energy, Reebok and Bud Light.[159][160] In 2017, his endorsement
deals rounded up to $7 million.[161] In early 2018, McGregor
signed a deal with Burger King.[162]
August McGregor
Just ahead of his ght with Mayweather, McGregor announced
a fashion partnership with tailoring brand David August; the
brand is named "August McGregor" and is aimed at providing

Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey
In September 2018, McGregor launched Proper No.
Twelve Irish whiskey in Ireland and the United States.[165] The
whiskey is named after the Crumlin neighbourhood in Dublin
12, in which McGregor grew up.[166]
In 2021, it was reported that McGregor and his business

partners sold their majority stake in the company to Proximo
Spirits, who previously had a 49% stake, for a deal worth a
reported $600 million.[167][168]
In an August 2022 interview Artem Lobov alleged that

McGregor was initially headed towards creating
a vodka product, but it was Lobov who pitched the idea of doing
a whiskey instead.[169] In the same interview, Lobov also stated
that he was the one who did the background study and
conducted business deals for the product.[169] In late November
2022, news surfaced that Lobov had sued McGregor, seeking 5
percent of the proceeds of the $600 million deal conducted in
2021.[170] Following the suing, McGregor aimed several social
media messages at Lobov, who subsequently led another
lawsuit against McGregor for defamation, intimidation and
harassment.[171] In January 2023, the latter lawsuit was denied
by the judge and Lobov was ordered to pay the legal fees.[172]
Black Forge Inn

In 2020, McGregor purchased a pub in South Dublin, renaming
it to the Black Forge Inn.[173] In 2022, the Black Forge Inn was
targeted by petrol bombs.[174]

failing to produce his documents. His car was seized by
the Irish police.[196] He was released on bail and his car was
returned to him. He was scheduled to appear before
Blanchardstown district court in April 2022, and, if convicted,
could be subject to a ne of up to €5,000, six months'
imprisonment, or both.[197][198][199]
On 23 June 2022, McGregor appeared

in Blanchardstown District Court in relation to events on 22
March 2022.[200][201] He was remanded on continuing
bail pending "further charges" as part of a dangerous driving
prosecution.[200][201] He has not yet indicated a plea and the judge
remanded[jargon] him to appear on 8 September 2022 for
directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.[200][201] On 8
September he was charged with an additional charge of
careless driving, adding to the six charges he already faced
over the incident: two charges of dangerous driving, two of
allegedly driving with no license or insurance and two of failing
to produce either license or insurance.[202] The trial was
originally set to begin in January 2023, but after McGregor's
defence argued to the court that he could not attend the trial
then due to being unwell,[203] the judge in the case ordered the
trial to start on 31 July 2024.[203]
Incident at Bellator 187

On 10 November 2017, McGregor's SBG
Ireland teammate Charlie Ward made his debut at Bellator
187 in Dublin against John Redmond.[204] Ward knocked out
Redmond in round one,[205] and McGregor jumped the cage (he
was not a licensed cornerman) to celebrate Ward's win while
the ght was not yet of cially declared over.[206] McGregor was
separated by referee Marc Goddard, as Goddard needed to
verify if the knockout was before the bell, and to ensure lock
down of the cage for medical staff to assess the health of the

fi
fi
fi
knocked out Redmond. McGregor charged towards Goddard:
while he pushed and confronted Goddard in a wild melee, he
also checked on the downed Redmond and knocked him down
while he was trying to get up.[207]
McGregor did a lap around the cage after he exited the cage a
few minutes later, then climbed and straddled the cage apron to
continue the celebration of Ward's win. He was stopped by a
commissioner and McGregor, agitated, slapped the
commissioner's face.[208][209] Redmond stated after the ght that
Goddard intended to let the ght continue to round two, but the
Mohegan Sun commission, which oversaw the event, elected to
end the ght due to McGregor's behaviour in the ring.[210]
A day after the incident, the head of the commission for Bellator
187, Mike Mazzulli, the president of both the Mohegan Tribe
Department of Athletic Regulation (MTDAR) and Association of
Boxing Commissions, issued a statement, stating that
"McGregor's conduct jeopardized the health and safety" of
ghters who were in the cage during the Ireland event. In
addition, Mr McGregor assaulted Referee Mark Goddard and a
(member of) Bellator staff."[211]
Bus attack at UFC 223 Media Day

On 3 April 2018, Khabib Nurmagomedov and his entourage
cornered and slapped Artem Lobov at a hotel in Brooklyn, New
York.[212][213] Lobov is known to be close to McGregor, with whom
Nurmagomedov has had altercations and trash talk exchanges.
[214] The two groups have a lengthy history of insults and
confrontations.
On 5 April 2018, during promotional appearances for UFC 223,

McGregor and a group of about twenty others were let into
the Barclays Center by credentialed members of his
promotional team. They attempted to confront Nurmagomedov,
who was on a bus leaving the arena with "red corner" ghters
for UFC 223 on it, such as Rose Namajunas, Al

fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
Iaquinta, Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Ray Borg, and Michael
Chiesa.[215] McGregor ran up alongside the slowly moving bus
and then ran past it to grab a metal equipment dolly, which he
then threw at the bus's window, before trying to throw other
objects in the vicinity.[216] Chiesa and Borg were injured by the
shattered glass and sent to hospital. They were soon removed
from the card on the advice of the NYSAC and the UFC's
medical team.[217] Lobov was also pulled from his ght for his
involvement in the dispute.
Dana White said there was a warrant out for McGregor's arrest,
and the NYPD said McGregor was a person of interest.
[218] White said McGregor had told him via text message: "This
had to be done."[219] "You can imagine he's going to be sued

beyond belief", White said, and denied suggestions that the
violence was a publicity stunt intended to generate interest in
the UFC.[220] McGregor and others involved initially ed the
Barclays Center after the incident,[221] although he and a fellow
accused turned themselves in that night. McGregor was
charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal
mischief.[222][223] He was further charged with menacing and
reckless endangerment at his arraignment, and released on
$50,000 bail until 14 June 2018.[224][225] Under the bail conditions
negotiated by his then attorney, Jim Walden, and set by the
judge, McGregor was allowed to travel without restriction.[226]
[227] On 12 April 2018, McGregor hired lawyer Bruce Mafeo
of Cozen O'Connor to represent him in this matter.[228] McGregor

pleaded no contest to a count of disorderly conduct and was
ordered to perform ve days of community service and attend
anger management classes.[229] On 12 September 2018, Chiesa
announced a lawsuit against McGregor, saying that he
"experienced pain, suffering and a loss of enjoyment of life" as
a result of the attack.[230]

Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog
Conor Anthony McGregor (born 14 July 1988) is an Irish

professional mixed martial artist, professional
boxer, businessman, and actor. He is a former Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC) Featherweight and Lightweight
Champion, becoming the rst UFC ghter to hold UFC
championships in two weight classes simultaneously.[10] He is
also a former simultaneous Cage Warriors (CW) Featherweight
and Lightweight Champion.
McGregor is the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) draw in mixed

martial arts (MMA) history, having headlined the ve highest-
selling UFC PPV events.[11] His bout with Khabib
Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 drew 2.4 million PPV buys, the
most ever for an MMA event.[12] His debut professional boxing
match, during which he was defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr.,
[13] drew over 5.3 million buys across the United States and the
United Kingdom.[14][15][16]
McGregor was ranked as the world's highest-paid

athlete by Forbes in 2021, earning a reported $180 million.
[17] He also featured in the list in 2018, when he was ranked
fourth, with a reported income of $99 million.[18] Throughout his

career, McGregor has become the subject of many
controversies due to his behaviour, ranging from driving
offences to assault, disorderly conduct and sexual assault. In
2024, a civil court in Ireland found that he assaulted and raped
a woman in December 2018, ordering him to pay
nearly €250,000 in compensation; the Garda Síochána had
previously investigated the incident, but prosecutors did not
pursue criminal charges.
Early life
Conor Anthony McGregor[19] was born in Dublin, Ireland.[1] He
was raised in Crumlin and attended Irish-language schools —

fi
fi
fi
the Gaelscoil Scoil Mológa, in Harold's Cross, at primary level,
and Gaelcholáiste Coláiste de hÍde in Tallaght at secondary
level, where he also developed his passion for sport,
playing football.[20]
In his youth, he played football for Lourdes Celtic Football Club.

[21] At the age of 12, he also began boxing at Crumlin Boxing
Club,[22][23] as a way to defend himself against bullies and raise

his con dence.
In 2006, McGregor moved with his family to Lucan, Dublin,

attending Gaelcholáiste Coláiste Cois Life. Following that, he
commenced a plumbing apprenticeship.[24] While in Lucan, he
met future UFC ghter Tom Egan and they soon started
training mixed martial arts (MMA) together.[25] Among his
inspirations growing up were Naseem Hamed, Muhammad Ali,
and Bruce Lee.[26][27]
Amateur mixed martial arts career

On 17 February 2007, at the age of 18, McGregor made his
mixed martial arts debut in an amateur ght against Kieran
Campbell for the Irish Ring of Truth promotion in Dublin. He
won via technical knockout (TKO) in the rst round. Following
the ght, he turned professional and was signed by the Irish
Cage of Truth promotion. In 2008, McGregor began training at
the Straight Blast Gym (SBG) in Dublin under John Kavanagh.
[28]
Professional mixed martial arts careerEarly career (2008–

2013)
On 9 March 2008, McGregor had his rst professional MMA
bout, as a lightweight, defeating Gary Morris with a second-
round TKO. After McGregor won his second ght against Mo
Taylor, he made his featherweight debut in a loss
via kneebar against submission specialist Artemij Sitenkov.
After a victory at featherweight in his next bout against Stephen
Bailey, McGregor contemplated a different career path before

fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi

his mother contacted his coach John Kavanagh and
reinvigorated him to continue pursuing mixed martial arts.[29]
McGregor then won his next ght, also at featherweight,

against Connor Dillon, before moving back to lightweight for a
ght against Joseph Duffy, in which he received his second
professional loss after submitting to an arm-triangle choke.
Following this, during 2011 and 2012, McGregor went on an
eight- ght winning streak,[30] during which he won both the
CWFC Featherweight and Lightweight championships, making
him the rst European professional mixed martial artist to hold
titles in two divisions simultaneously.[31]
In February 2013, UFC president Dana White made a trip to

Dublin, Ireland to receive a Gold Medal of Honorary Patronage
from Trinity College and was inundated with requests to sign
McGregor to the UFC. After a meeting with McGregor, and
talking with UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta, White offered him a
contract days later.[32]
Ultimate Fighting Championship (2013–present)2013

In February 2013, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
announced that they had signed McGregor to a multi- ght
contract.[33] In joining, he became only the second ghter from
Ireland to compete for the company, following team member
Tom Egan.
On 6 April 2013, McGregor made his UFC debut

against Marcus Brimage at UFC on Fuel TV: Mousasi vs. Lati .
[34] He won the ght by knockout in round one.[35] The win also
earned McGregor his rst "Knockout of the Night" award.[36]
McGregor was expected to face Andy Ogle on 17 August 2013

at UFC Fight Night 26, but Ogle pulled out of the bout citing an
injury and was replaced by eventual UFC Featherweight
Champion Max Holloway.[37] McGregor won the ght by
unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, and 30–26). Following the

fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
f
bout with Holloway, an MRI scan revealed that McGregor had
torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during the bout and
would require surgery, keeping him out of action for up to ten
months.[38]
2014
McGregor was expected to face Cole Miller on 19 July 2014,
at UFC Fight Night 46 in his comeback bout after recovering
from his ACL injury.[39] However, Miller pulled out of the bout
citing a thumb injury and was replaced by Diego Brandão.
[40] McGregor fought Brandão in front of a loud, rowdy crowd of
9,500 at The O2 in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland. The ght

was of cially halted by referee Leon Roberts at 4:05 of the rst
round. The win earned McGregor his rst Performance of the
Night award.[41]
Prior to his next bout, McGregor met with Lorenzo Fertitta and
signed a new multi- ght contract with the UFC. McGregor next
faced Dustin Poirier on 27 September 2014, at UFC 178.
[42] Despite McGregor landing only 9 signi cant strikes to
Poirier's 10, he managed to secure a victory early on in the rst

round, by pressuring Poirier onto his back foot, before
exploding with a left hook behind Poirier's ear, forcing referee
Herb Dean to step in to end the ght. The nish of cially came
at 1:46 into the rst round.[43][44] This marked Poirier's rst UFC
loss via KO/TKO, and earned McGregor his second straight
2015Championship pursuits
McGregor faced Dennis Siver on 18 January 2015 at UFC Fight
Night 59.[46][47] He won the ght via TKO in the second round.

Interim Featherweight Championship bout
The highly anticipated bout with Aldo was announced on 30
January 2015, at the UFC 183 Q&A. McGregor declared that
he was expected to face Aldo on 11 July 2015 at UFC 189 for
the undisputed UFC Featherweight Championship, during the
UFC's annual International Fight Week. The ght took place at
the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.[50] The
UFC, con dent that the ght would exceed expectations,
increased the promotional budget for the event, with company
Dana White stating that "[the UFC] spent more money
promoting Aldo–McGregor than any ght in UFC history."[51]
The ght against Aldo was announced on 30 January 2015, at

the UFC 183 and both McGregor and Aldo embarked on a 12-
day world tour, during which eight cities in ve countries were
visited, including Aldo's home country of Brazil (Rio de Janeiro)
and McGregor's hometown of Dublin. The tour began in Rio de
Janeiro on 20 March, and completed in Dublin on 31 March.
[52] However, on 23 June, it was reported that Aldo had suffered
a rib fracture and had pulled out of the bout as a consequence.

[53][54] McGregor remained on the card and was rescheduled to
face Chad Mendes for the Interim Featherweight

Championship.[55] The of cial attendance for the event, 16,019,
broke the record in Nevada, while the gate of $7,200,000 broke
the record for a mixed martial arts event in the United States.
[56] Prior to the ght, McGregor's entrance song, "The Foggy
Dew", was sung live by Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad

O'Connor.[57] McGregor won the ght via TKO, winning the UFC
Interim Featherweight Championship.[58][59]
McGregor then took part in UFC's The Ultimate Fighter, in

which he coached against Urijah Faber.[60] Faber's team
member Ryan Hall ended up winning the competition.
Featherweight Championship uni cation bout

On 10 August, it was announced that the event would take
place on 12 December, and McGregor would face José Aldo for

fi

the UFC Featherweight Championship.[61] At the weigh-ins, both
McGregor and Aldo achieved the weight limit of 145 pounds.[62]
[63] McGregor knocked out Aldo thirteen seconds into the rst
round with a left hook, ending his seven-year-

long WEC and UFC title reign and eighteen- ght win streak to
claim the title, earning the "Performance of the Night" bonus as
well.[64][65] This nish marked the fastest knockout in a title bout
in UFC history.[66]
2016First UFC loss
McGregor in 2016
McGregor faced The Ultimate Fighter Season 5 winner, and
former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Nate Diaz on
5 March 2016 at UFC 196 in a welterweight bout.[67] On 24
February 2016, a press conference was held to help promote
the new main event, with both men trading insults.[68] At the
Thursday pre- ght press conference on 3 March, McGregor
and Diaz engaged in a brief scuf e during a face-off, after
McGregor landed a strike on Diaz's lead hand.[69]
The ght began with combination in the rst round, Diaz

returned re with two consecutive hooks, one a slap, a
signature of Nate and his brother, Nick Diaz, termed the
"Stockton Slap". McGregor had success with his bodywork, but
Diaz began to land combinations of his own. After a one-two
punches from Diaz, McGregor attempted a double leg
takedown, which Diaz defended by sprawling. Diaz then
threatened the guillotine choke, which forced McGregor onto
his back after stopping McGregor from scrambling and Diaz
secured the mount and secured a rear naked choke. McGregor
tapped to the submission at 4:12 into the second round.[70][71]
[72] Both competitors were awarded "Fight of the Night" bonuses,
and McGregor received the highest disclosed purse of any

ghter in the history of the company to that point, at
$1,000,000.[73][74] McGregor was critical of his own performance

fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fl
fi
fi
fi
while praising Diaz, saying "I was inef cient with my energy. It
was a battle of energy and he got the better of that."[75]
Rematch with Nate Diaz

A rematch with Diaz was scheduled for 9 July at UFC 200;
however, on 19 April, the UFC announced that McGregor had
been pulled from the event after failing to ful l media
obligations related to the ght.[76][77][78] In turn, the ght with
McGregor was rescheduled and took place the following month,
contested again at welterweight, at UFC 202.[79] McGregor won
the rematch via majority decision (48–47, 47–47, and 48–47).
[80] The bout was once again awarded "Fight of the Night"
honours.[81] The event broke the record previously held by UFC

100 for the highest selling pay-per-view in UFC history, with
1,650,000 buys.[82]
Two–division champion
On 27 September, it was of cially announced that McGregor's
next bout would be against Eddie Alvarez for the UFC
Lightweight Championship on 12 November at UFC 205.
[83] After dropping Alvarez multiple times throughout the rst
round, McGregor landed a multiple-punch combination to stop

his opponent via technical knockout in the second round.[84] This
result marked the rst time a competitor had held UFC
championships in two different weight classes, and also
repeated McGregor's feat during his career at Cage Warriors.[85]
[86] This win earned him the "Performance of the Night", and it is
widely considered one of McGregor's best performances inside

the octagon.[87][88][89]
Stripping of Featherweight Championship

On 26 November, due to his inactivity in the division, it was
initially announced that McGregor had vacated the
Featherweight Championship, therefore promoting José Aldo to
undisputed champion.[90] McGregor's coach, however,
con rmed further reports which stated that McGregor had
actually been stripped of the title.[91]

2017
After winning the lightweight championship at UFC 205,
McGregor announced he would take time off from the UFC to
wait for the birth of his rst child due in 2017.[92] McGregor spent
the majority of his public appearances in early-2017
campaigning for a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
[93] After months of negotiations, the two nally came to terms
on 14 June 2017 and announced the match to take place on 26

August.[94] The match ultimately ended in the 10th round with a
victory by TKO for Mayweather.[13]
2018
After the conclusion of UFC 223 on 7 April, McGregor was
stripped of the UFC Lightweight Championship due to
inactivity[10] and Khabib Nurmagomedov was crowned the
undisputed champion after defeating Al Iaquinta at the event.[95]
On 3 August, it was announced that McGregor would return to

the octagon for the rst time since November 2016 at UFC
229 to challenge the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov for
the UFC Lightweight Championship on 6 October.[96] This bout
was considered one of the biggest contests in the history of the
sport and it was lled with pre- ght hype.[97][98][99] Nurmagomedov
submitted McGregor with a neck crank in the fourth round.[100][101]
2019
On 26 March 2019, McGregor announced his retirement on
social media.[102][103] However, Dana White viewed this
announcement as a ploy to secure an ownership stake in the
company,[104][105] with White later suggesting his retirement would
not last and that he had been in regular contact with him and
stated he would ght again in the future.[106] McGregor had
previously tweeted that he wanted a rematch with Khabib
Nurmagomedov and that he would see him in the Octagon.[107]
[108]
2020

fi
fi
fi
fi

After over a year away from the Octagon, McGregor
faced Donald Cerrone in a welterweight bout on 18 January
2020 at UFC 246.[109] He won the ght via technical knockout 40
seconds into the rst round.[110] This win earned him
a Performance of the Night award.[111] The win made McGregor
the rst UFC ghter to hold knockout nishes in the
featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight divisions.[112] On 6
June 2020, McGregor announced once more that he was
retiring from ghting.[113]
2021
Despite talks of retirement, McGregor was booked to face
former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Dustin
Poirier in a rematch of their 2014 bout at UFC 257 on 24
January 2021.[114] He lost the ght via technical knockout in the
second round, marking the rst knockout loss in his career.
[115] McGregor was later handed a 6–month medical suspension
after the knockout.[116]
McGregor faced Dustin Poirier for a third time on 10 July 2021

at UFC 264.[117] McGregor lost the ght via technical knockout in
round one after the ringside doctor stopped the bout. McGregor
had rolled his ankle while stepping back, resulting in a broken
lower tibia which rendered him unable to continue.[118][119][120]
2023–2024
After the layoff nursing his leg injury, McGregor coached The
Ultimate Fighter 31 for the second time with the opposing
coach being Michael Chandler. Filming of the show started in
February 2023[121] and aired on television from May to August
2023.[122] The show led to McGregor being scheduled to ght in
a welterweight bout against Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29,
2024.[123] Following speculation on the ght's status due to an
abruptly canceled press conference,[124][125] the UFC of cially
announced the ght's cancellation on June 13, 2024, citing an
injury (broken toe) sustained by McGregor.[126]

Mixed martial arts fighting style
McGregor is known mostly as a counter-striker[127][128] and
prefers to ght standing up, as opposed to on the ground. He is
known for his striking precision and knockout power.
[129] McGregor is left-handed and primarily ghts out of
the southpaw stance, but often switches to an orthodox stance.

He will frequently try to be the aggressor in his bouts.
[1] McGregor's boxing is typically considered his best skill, with
the majority of his victories coming by way of knockout or

technical knockout via punches.[23] Many pundits cite
McGregor's pull-back left-handed counter as his most
dangerous strike.[130][131][132]
McGregor's signature style off arena is to repeatedly engage

in trash talk and "psychological warfare" against his opponents,
which has led to earning him the moniker 'The
Notorious'[133] and has brought comparisons with Muhammad
Ali, whom McGregor cites as one of his early inspirations.[134][135]
[136][137] After Ali died in June 2016, McGregor opined that
"nobody will ever come close to [Ali's] greatness".[138]

[139] McGregor has also cited Bruce Lee as an inspiration,[140] and
compared himself to Lee.[141] During the buildup to his bout

against Donald Cerrone and the rematch against Dustin Poirier,
McGregor was respectful towards his opponents and refrained
from trash talking.[142][143] However, McGregor heavily used trash
talk in the build up to his trilogy ght with Poirier.[144]
Professional boxing careerMcGregor vs. Mayweather Jr.

Main article: Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor
On 14 June 2017, it was announced that McGregor would
compete in his rst professional boxing match against the
undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr., on 26 August 2017 at T-
Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The ght was broadcast on
Showtime PPV in the US and Sky Sports Box Of ce in the UK.
[145] The bout was contested at super welterweight (154 pounds)

fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
with 8 oz. gloves.[146][147] The ght was expected to be the richest
in boxing history.[148]
On 24 August 2017, it was announced that Mayweather and

McGregor would compete for the WBC Money Belt.
[149] According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission,
Mayweather would earn a guaranteed purse of $100 million

and McGregor was guaranteed $30 million.[150] The match
resulted in Mayweather winning via TKO in the 10th round, with
the scorecards reading 87–83, 89–82, and 89–81, all in favour
of Mayweather. The Nevada State Athletic Commission
announced the live gate for the event was $55,414,865.79 from
13,094 tickets sold.[151] Given the success in pay-per-views,
Mayweather reportedly earned around $280 million overall,
while McGregor came out with earning $130 million.[152]
Political endeavoursResponse to the 2023 Dublin riots

On 23 November 2023, in response to the stabbing of a woman
and three children in Dublin, McGregor made multiple anti-
immigration statements, tweeting that "Ireland is at war". In
response to a tweet by Britain First leader Paul Golding calling
on McGregor to lead a "freedom march", McGregor condemned
the riots that followed the stabbings but tweeted "Ashling

On 10 November 2017, McGregor's SBG
Ireland teammate Charlie Ward made his debut at Bellator

Redmond in round one,[205] and McGregor jumped the cage (he
was not a licensed cornerman) to celebrate Ward's win while
the ght was not yet of cially declared over.[206] McGregor was
separated by referee Marc Goddard, as Goddard needed to
verify if the knockout was before the bell, and to ensure lock
down of the cage for medical staff to assess the health of the
knocked out Redmond. McGregor charged towards Goddard:
while he pushed and confronted Goddard in a wild melee, he
also checked on the downed Redmond and knocked him down
while he was trying to get up.[207]
McGregor did a lap around the cage after he exited the cage a
few minutes later, then climbed and straddled the cage apron to
continue the celebration of Ward's win. He was stopped by a
commissioner and McGregor, agitated, slapped the
commissioner's face.[208][209] Redmond stated after the ght that

fi
fi
fi
Goddard intended to let the ght continue to round two, but the
Mohegan Sun commission, which oversaw the event, elected to
end the ght due to McGregor's behaviour in the ring.[210]
A day after the incident, the head of the commission for Bellator
187, Mike Mazzulli, the president of both the Mohegan Tribe
Department of Athletic Regulation (MTDAR) and Association of
Boxing Commissions, issued a statement, stating that
"McGregor's conduct jeopardized the health and safety" of
ghters who were in the cage during the Ireland event. In

(member of) Bellator staff."[211]

confrontations.
On 5 April 2018, during promotional appearances for UFC 223,

McGregor and a group of about twenty others were let into
the Barclays Center by credentialed members of his

who was on a bus leaving the arena with "red corner" ghters
for UFC 223 on it, such as Rose Namajunas, Al
Iaquinta, Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Ray Borg, and Michael
Chiesa.[215] McGregor ran up alongside the slowly moving bus
and then ran past it to grab a metal equipment dolly, which he
then threw at the bus's window, before trying to throw other
objects in the vicinity.[216] Chiesa and Borg were injured by the
shattered glass and sent to hospital. They were soon removed

Dana White said there was a warrant out for McGregor's arrest,
and the NYPD said McGregor was a person of interest.
[218] White said McGregor had told him via text message: "This
had to be done."[219] "You can imagine he's going to be sued

beyond belief", White said, and denied suggestions that the
violence was a publicity stunt intended to generate interest in
the UFC.[220] McGregor and others involved initially ed the
Barclays Center after the incident,[221] although he and a fellow
accused turned themselves in that night. McGregor was
charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal
mischief.[222][223] He was further charged with menacing and
reckless endangerment at his arraignment, and released on
$50,000 bail until 14 June 2018.[224][225] Under the bail conditions
negotiated by his then attorney, Jim Walden, and set by the
judge, McGregor was allowed to travel without restriction.[226]
[227] On 12 April 2018, McGregor hired lawyer Bruce Mafeo
of Cozen O'Connor to represent him in this matter.[228] McGregor

pleaded no contest to a count of disorderly conduct and was
ordered to perform ve days of community service and attend
anger management classes.[229] On 12 September 2018, Chiesa
announced a lawsuit against McGregor, saying that he
"experienced pain, suffering and a loss of enjoyment of life" as
a result of the attack.[230]
