Conor McGregor aka ‘The Notorious’ is an Irish professional mixed martial artist who hails from Dublin. The 28-year-old fighter currently plies his trade in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He is now the reigning UFC Lightweight champion. During his UFC career, ‘Mystic Mac’ has successfully competed in three divisions; featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight. In 2016, McGregor registered his name in the record books by becoming the first fighter in UFC’s history to simultaneously hold titles in two divisions; featherweight and lightweight champions. He has an outstanding record which stands at 21-3, that proves exactly why he is considered as the face of the fighting extravaganza by UFC chief Dana White.
