Conor McGregor transcended beyond MMA

UFC has certainly seen its fair share of superstars, who revolutionized the sport. However, in its 25+ years of existence, there has never been a more influential personality than Conor. He has broken many pay-per-view records, and his fight cards still stand as the highest sellers in the company’s history.

Despite suffering multiple heartbreaking losses in his career, the superstar has still kept his stardom intact. He is the first UFC fighter, who simultaneously held world titles in multiple weight classes. Not just that, he also faced the greatest boxer of the modern era in Floyd Mayweather in his pro boxing debut.

He is currently preparing for a trilogy fight against a familiar opponent in Dustin Poirier. The duo has faced each other on two separate occasions, and each fighter has secured a knockout victory. Now the duo is gearing up for a rubber match, which will take place on July 10th in Vegas. This mega event will offer both fighters one last chance to settle the score.

Recently, the lightweight division crowned a new champion in Charles Oliveira, following Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement. This marks a great opportunity for both Conor and Dustin to get back in the world title picture in 2021.
