He completed his primary schooling at Gaelscoil Scoil Mológa, in Harold's Cross. He also got admitted to Gaelcholáiste Coláiste de hÍde in Tallaght for his secondary schooling.

McGregor grew up in a rather violent neighborhood of Crumlin in Dublin. He also played football in his youth. But at the age of 12, McGregor started taking boxing lessons at the Crumlin Boxing Club to raise his confidence and defend himself in the fights he often got into. McGregor shifted to Lucan in Dublin in the year 2006. He also took up an apprenticeship as a plumber. Also, it was in Lucan where McGregor had his meeting with the former UFC fighter, Tom Egan. This meeting opened up whole new avenues before McGregor. They also started training in MMA together.

Conor Mcgregor’s Professional MMA Career

McGregor then made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. The Irishman made waves in the European MMA scene and finally found himself in Britain's biggest promotion, The Cage Warriors. There he set up an 8 fight winning streak. In the same time frame, he became the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight double champion, the first European to do so.

McGregor’s journey in the UFC is nothing but a fairy tale. He finished Marcus Brimage via knockout in his debut in 2013. After defeating the famed Max Holloway in his second bout, McGregor became a household name even to the UFC audience. His further wins against Dustin Poirier and Dennis Siver made sure that his demand to fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship was answered positively.

But, McGregor had to take on the Interim Featherweight Champion, Chad Mendes, prior to his title bout against the then-injured Featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo. McGregor got the better of Mendes with a TKO in a neck-to-neck battle in UFC 189. He crowned himself the Interim Featherweight Champion further justifying his Featherweight title shot.

'The Notorious' finally had his much-awaited Featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo. Most UFC fans would agree that McGregor delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of the UFC that night. He knocked out the fan-favorite, Aldo, in just 13 seconds of the bout claiming his UFC Featherweight title.

McGregor had his first UFC loss against the coveted, Nate Diaz at UFC 196 when he decided to move up to the Welterweight division. Diaz landed a few clean strikes in the second round of the bout which made McGregor shoot for a double leg. However, the 'Stockton Gangster' used his superb BJJ skills to transition it to a rear-naked choke and submitted McGregor at the 4:12 mark of the second round. But during their rematch at UFC 202, McGregor avenged his defeat.

Post that, he also earned the lightweight belt after defeating Eddie Alvarez.

But, McGregor couldn't defend his Featherweight title successfully even once as he was stripped of it on 26 November, 2016. The UFC authorities blamed it on his inactivity and announced that he had vacated the title himself. However, McGregor's associates said that he was stripped.
