What may come as a surprise to many MMA fans is that Conor McGregor’s manager-business partner, Audie Attar, used to manage the Brit. Actually, it was Michael Bisping who first spotted the Irishman, believed in him, and later introduced him to his manager.

The relationship between McGregor and Attar bloomed and McGregor had a stupendous rise in the UFC. Subsequently, Attar became McGregor’s business part. The duo started a successful whiskey business, which they reportedly sold for $600 million.
