<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Conor McGregor 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
The 'Notorious' Conor McGregor is among the biggest stars in combat sports. His achievements and journey inspire millions of fight fans around the world. Coming from the streets of Dublin, it did not take long for McGregor to get noticed by the UFC. As of July 2021, he sits at #5 in the UFC lightweight <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Conor McGregor: UFC Career</h2>
McGregor’s journey in the UFC is nothing but a fairy tale. He finished Marcus Brimage via knockout in his debut in 2013. 'The Notorious' dominated the featherweight division by beating the featherweight king, Jose Aldo, in <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-we-never-expect-to-lose-jose-aldo-opens-up-on-conor-mcgregor-loss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">13 seconds</a>. Moreover, he became the first two-division champion in UFC history by beating Eddie Alvarez for the UFC lightweight title.



Additionally, McGregor crossed the MMA boundary in 2017 and fought the greatest boxer of this generation, <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/floyd-mayweather/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Floyd Mayweather</a>. The Irishman made a guaranteed $30 million in this fight.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Conor McGregor: Achievements</h2>
McGregor holds a stellar record of <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Conor-McGregor-29688" target="_blank" rel="noopener">22-5</a> in his MMA career. He has fought in three distinct divisions in the UFC. 'The Notorious' became the featherweight champion by beating former champion Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Furthermore, he became the lightweight champion by beating Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205.



&nbsp;

'Notorious' has won in three different divisions. Other than featherweight and lightweight, McGregor has also fought at welterweight against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nate-diaz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nate Diaz</a> and Donald Cerrone. He is one of the few fighters to have claimed stoppage wins in three divisions.

McGregor has a 10-3 UFC <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/f4c49976c75c5ab2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">record</a> and has claimed seven Performance of the Night awards, two Fight of the Night Awards, and one Knockout of the Night award. He will look to improve this tally in his fourteenth UFC fight. 'The Notorious' will complete his highly anticipated trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ufc-264-poirier-vs-mcgregor-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UFC 264</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Conor McGregor: Controversies</h2>
The list of Conor McGregor's controversies is almost endless. Months before his fight against <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khabib Nurmagomedov</a>, Conor attacked a bus in which Khabib was traveling along with other fighters. Post the fight, McGregor was involved in a brawl with Nurmagomedov's teammates.

Conor also attacked referee Marc Goddard at a Bellator event. Also, he stomped on a fan's phone before walking away with it. Moreover, he punched an old man at a bar. More famously, he threw Monster Energy cans at Nate Diaz during a press conference.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Conor McGregor: Retirement</h2>
McGregor had retired for the second time on March 25, 2019. Fortunately, he found the motivation to return to the cage. In January 2020, he fought Donald Cerrone.

It took him only 40 seconds to dispose of 'Cowboy'. Although he had planned a quick turnaround, his plans failed to materialize. As a result, McGregor <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-250-boxing-news-breaking-conor-mcgregor-announces-retirement-from-fighting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">retired</a> on June 6, 2020.



Then once again, 'Mystic Mac' made his return inside the octagon. This time it was for a rematch against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/">Dustin Poirier</a> at UFC 257 on January 23, 2021. However, it didn't turn out in his favor, as he suffered a second-round TKO loss.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Conor McGregor: Net Worth and Salary 2021</h2>
McGregor is the <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-who-are-the-highest-paid-ufc-fighters-these-names-will-surprise-you-conor-mcgregor-khabib-nurmagomedov-alistair-overeem-anderson-silva-michael-bisping/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highest-paid</a> athlete in the UFC and has <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2020/01/19/conor-mcgregor-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earned</a> over $20,102,000 in his 13 UFC fights. 'The Notorious' has a <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/mma-net-worth/conor-mcgregor-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">net worth</a> of $200 million. As of July 2021, McGregor's highest paycheck in the UFC is $5,020,000 for his rematch against Dustin Poirier.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Conor McGregor: Endorsements 2021</h2>
'The Notorious' is easily among the wealthiest mixed martial artists. He has huge endorsement deals and tie-ups with Monster Energy, Reebok, Beats Electronics, Burger King, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Budweiser. Additionally, McGregor has his clothing line, <a href="https://augustmcgregor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August McGregor</a>, and his whiskey brand, <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://properwhiskey.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Proper No.12</a>.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Conor McGregor: Charity 2021</h2>
Leaving aside the controversies, McGregor has done a lot of charity work for his community. He donated $1 million to first responders following the success of his whiskey brand. Moreover, McGregor also gave away <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.sportsjoe.ie/mma/conor-mcgregor-to-donate-e50000-to-help-irelands-homeless-problem-44520" target="_blank" rel="noopener">€50,000</a> to help the homeless people of Ireland.

In May 2020, McGregor donated £1.3 million worth of <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.irishpost.com/news/conor-mcgregor-delivers-ppe-irish-hospitals-donating-e1-3-million-help-frontline-workers-185157" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PPE</a> to Irish hospitals to fight the battle against the Coronavirus. Additionally, McGregor has also inspired several fans — including a <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-conor-mcgregor-pulls-off-yet-another-act-of-kindness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disabled man</a> — to turn their lives around.

The UFC will have their first PPV of the year in Abu Dhabi’s Yas Fight Island with a mammoth Lightweight match. It ends a fight week with two other cards and serves as the true grand opening of the UFC for 2021. It will feature the return of MMA superstar <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/">Conor McGregor</a> against top-ranked Lightweight <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/">Dustin Poirier</a> in a fight with title implications.

The UFC will host UFC 257 as their first PPV of the year. The bouts are scheduled to take place in the standard 30-foot cage. The fights at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas employs a smaller 25-foot octagon.

The date of the event is January 23rd, 2021.
<h2>UFC  257: Main event</h2>
The show is capped off by the pride of Ireland Conor McGregor looking to beat Dustin Poirier for the second time after their matchup in 2014. Conor is going into the fight having lost his last Lightweight bout in 2018 to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/">Khabib Nurmagomedov</a>. He has fought once since at Welterweight. Dustin Poirier won his last fight against Dan Hooker, but failed to capture the Lightweight Championship from Khabib in 2019.
<h2>UFC 257 Announced bouts</h2>
<h5>Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor: Lightweight bout</h5>
<h5>Michael Chandler vs Dan Hooker: Lightweight bout</h5>
<h5>Jessica Eye vs Joanne Calderwood: Women's Flyweight bout</h5>
<h5>Khalil Rountree Jr. vs Marcin Preachnio: Light Heavyweight bout</h5>
<h5>Marina Rodriguez vs Amanda Ribas: Strawweight bout</h5>
<h5>Brad Tavares vs Antonio Carlos Junior: Middleweight bout</h5>
<h5>Matt Frevola vs Ottman Azaitar: Lightweight bout</h5>
<h5>Shane Burgos vs Hakeem Dawodu: Men's Featherweight bout</h5>
<h5>Sara McMann vs. Julianna Pena: Women's Bantamweight bout</h5>
<h5>Sergey Morozov vs. Umar Nurmagomedov: Men's Bantamweight bout</h5>
<h5>Andrew Sanchez vs. Makhmud Muradov: Middleweight bout</h5>
<h5>Nasrat Haqparast vs. Arman Tsarukyan: Lightweight bout</h5>
The most likely co-main event for this bout is Michael Chandler's UFC debut against Dan Hooker. Chandler made weight as an alternate for the UFC 254 main event title fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje. Dan Hooker lost his last fight to the main eventer Dustin Poirier, and will look to enter the title picture with a statement win.

We will have a high-stakes Women's Flyweight bout between Joanne Calderwood and Amanda Ribas. The winner will be one step closer to entering the title picture. This matchup will presumably be on the main card.

A fight of the night contender has already been announced for the Men's Featherweight division between Shane Burgos and Hakeen Dawodu. Burgos was in one of the best fights of 2020 against Josh Emmett.

Amanda Ribas will be in action against Marina Rodriguez. Michelle Waterson was originally scheduled to face Ribas but had to drop out of the fight. Marina dropped her last fight to Carla Esparza. Ribas was undefeated in 2020, winning both her fights against Paige VanZant and Randa Markos.

Brad Tavares will look to halt his two-fight losing streak when he faces 7-4 UFC journeyman, Antonio Carlos Junior. This fight was initially booked for March 2020, but a host of injuries has delayed it by 10 months.

Khabib's cousin Umar Nurmagomedov will finally step into the Octagon against Sergey Morozov. The fight was initially booked for UFC 254, headlined by Khabib. However, it fell through and is now on the undercard for a Conor McGregor fight.
