Conor McGregor is undoubtedly the biggest star ever to step inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s Octagon, eclipsing the likes of George St-Pierre, Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey in terms of raw pulling power.
McGregor’s rise to fame is nothing short of remarkable, going from collecting state welfare checks from the Irish government in 2013 to making more than $100 million from his fight against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year.
The Irishman makes his long-awaited return to the UFC next month at UFC 229 in a bid to regain his lightweight belt from the current champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
