Background and Age

Conor Anthony McGregor was born on July 14, 1988, in Dublin, Ireland. He was born to guardians Tony and Margaret McGregor. Brought up in the unpleasant working-class area of Crumlin, McGregor appreciated playing soccer as a kid, before finding an outlet for his animosity in boxing. He was a member of the Crumlin Boxing Club from age 11 to 17, winning a Dublin Novice Championship during that time.

Career and Net Worth

When lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos pulled out of their arranged March 2016 title session because of injury damage, McGregor hopped one more weight class to battle Nate Diaz at 170 pounds. The Irishman was eventually worn out by the greater Diaz before submitting to a strangle hold, finishing his 15 win streak. In their eagerly awaited rematch, McGregor again hopped out to a quick start before the tide changed. This time he bounced back to win the critical fourth round, and hung on through Diaz's edgy late whirlwind to win the match on the judge's scorecards.

Dropping back to the more agreeable lightweight class, McGregor conveyed another great performance with a second-round TKO of Eddie Alvarez in November 2016, all the while making him the UFC's lightweight and featherweight champion and the first ever double champ.

Marriage, Wife and Kids

Conor has been with his long-lasting sweetheart Dee Devlin. Devlin supposedly met McGregor at a dance club in 2008, when his MMA career was getting off the ground. Despite the fact that he was on welfare at the time and remained so for a long time after she stayed with him through the unusual beginning times of his career, eventually leaving her place of employment as a secretary to go with the warrior when he started making progress.

Legal Issues

In August 2019, footage of Conor McGregor sucker punching an old man inside a Dublin bar was released. The assault occurred as the MMA contender was handing out shots of whiskey to different people at the bar. Inside The Marble Arch Pub, McGregor was hoping to purchase a series of his Proper Twelve whiskey for individuals. One of the men inside declined, returning the glasses on the counter twice and apparently taunting the fighter. The video shows McGregor bringing down a shot with three different patrons before taking a swing at the man who wasn't anticipating it. In spite of that, the man appeared unflinching after the assault and McGregor was immediately hauled away by his reps.
