Whether it is by trash-talking or picking up a fight in a Dublin pub, Conor McGregor has always found a way to feature on the headlines. Rightly known as one of the biggest pay-per-view draws in the MMA.

“There was no strategy per se. I love the fight game and love the fans, give it my all every day. I have battled inside the Octagon and have overcome great adversities in my life.”- Conor McGregor to Bleacher Report

The level of stardom that the Irishman boasts of, crosses that of any other fighter in the UFC. Many have tried but were unable to succeed. McGregor is an entity whose name transcends the UFC.

“People appreciate my story, and many relate to me. I know I relate to many of them. Just a small number of years ago I was an apprentice plumber on social welfare, and today I am known all over the world and am able to help many vs. being helped. That is a great feeling.”- Conor McGregor
