Conor Anthony McGregor (born 14 July 1988) is an Irish professional mixed martial artist, professional boxer and businessman. He is a former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight and Lightweight Champion, becoming the first UFC fighter to hold UFC championships in two weight classes simultaneously.^[10] He is also a former simultaneous Cage Warriors Fighting Championship (CWFC) Featherweight and Lightweight Champion.\n

In 2008, McGregor began competing on the professional mixed martial arts (MMA) circuit in the lightweight and featherweight divisions. In 2012, he won the vacant CWFC Featherweight and Lightweight Championships. A year later, he signed with the UFC. After five straight wins, he challenged for the Interim Featherweight Championship and defeated Chad Mendes at UFC 189. After he knocked out featherweight champion Jos\u00e9 Aldo in 13 seconds at UFC 194, his fame catapulted tremendously.^[11] He made his welterweight debut at UFC 196 where he was defeated by Nate Diaz via submission, marking his first loss in the UFC. In November 2016, he defeated Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 and won the UFC Lightweight Championship. He briefly transitioned to boxing in 2017, making his professional debut against Floyd Mayweather Jr., where he was defeated via TKO in the 10th round. He returned to MMA and challenged for the UFC Lightweight Championship at UFC 229, losing to lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov via submission. \n

McGregor is the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) draw in MMA history, having headlined the five highest-selling UFC PPV events.^[12] His bout with Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 drew 2.4 million PPV buys, the most ever for an MMA event.^[13] His 2017 boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr.^[14] drew over 5.3 million buys across the United States and the United Kingdom, and became the second highest buy rate in pay-per-view history.^[15]^[16]^[17] McGregor was ranked as the world's highest-paid athlete by Forbes in 2021, earning a reported $180 million.^[18] He also featured in the list in 2018, when he was ranked fourth, with a reported income of $99 million.^[19] Outside of his fighting career, McGregor has ventured into business, and is best known for his alcohol-related ventures. \n

Throughout his career, McGregor has become the subject of many controversies due to his behaviour, ranging from driving offences to assault, disorderly conduct and rape. He has made controversial comments about the 2023 Dublin riots, the Irish government's immigration policy and race. In November 2024, the Irish High Court, in a civil case, found that he assaulted and raped a woman in December 2018, ordering him to pay over \u20ac248,000 in damages.^[20] In December 2024, he was further ordered to pay the entirety of her legal costs, approximately \u20ac1,500,000.^[21] After the verdict, McGregor was widely condemned, losing several partnership deals.\n
