Conor McGregor is one of the biggest stars in the world of mixed martial arts. The Irishman has built himself a legacy in the UFC. During his prime, he was undoubtedly one of the best featherweights of all time. The former double division champion holds a professional fight record of 22 wins and seven losses as of December 2021.
According to reports, fans claimed that the Irishman was at “death’s door” while fighting in the featherweight division. However, Conor McGregor denied this claim. McGregor looked much different when he started off in the featherweight category.
