From an apprentice plumber to the biggest star in combat sports, Conor McGregor has a unique story to tell. The Irishman, who once lived on welfare cheques has become one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. However, he could not have accomplished it on his own.

“Behind every successful man, there’s a woman.” In McGregor’s case, there are two. ‘The Notorious’ took some time out of his schedule to thank the two women behind his success. In an Instagram post, McGregor appreciated his mother and his girlfriend Dee Devlin.

Ireland celebrated Mother’s Day on 22 March. While most people must have forgotten about it because of the Coronavirus, UFC star Conor McGregor did not.

Margaret McGregor: The woman who gave birth to a legend

Conor was born in 1988 to Margaret McGregor. Margaret holds a special place in Conor’s life, evident by his appreciation towards his mother frequently. Last year, the Irishman celebrated Margaret’s 60th birthday at the Versace Mansion in Las Vegas.
