He was shorter and more slender than his peers, that&#8217;s why he became <strong>the victim of bullying.<\/strong> This experience brought him <strong>to the gym.<\/strong> <em>&#8220;When I was walking out of school, a group of young boys stopped me and began to offend me and to attack me physically. I ran. Later, I was carrying <strong>dumbbell for protection<\/strong> with me in the bag instead of the books. When it repeated, I said to myself, screw them and <strong>I went to train<\/strong>&#8220;<\/em>, McGregor described his childhood.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[3]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He was living on the suburb where he played football with his friends. There was a dress of his <strong>favourite club Manchester United<\/strong> hanging in his closet. He was dreaming of becoming the player of &#8220;red devils&#8221;. Even though Conor prefer doing sports rather than watching football, he can&#8217;t miss any match of this English club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When he was 12, he was deciding which sport he wants to do. He liked individual sports more, that&#8217;s why <strong>he chose box<\/strong> and became a member of the boxer club Crumlin. Young Conor didn&#8217;t have an idea that this sport would prepare him for the career of MMA fighter and would make him one of <strong>the best earning sportsmen in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Box&nbsp;<\/strong>was a hobby which young Conor <strong>loved.<\/strong> But he had to aim at the <strong>real goals,<\/strong> the choice of study and consequential profession. <strong>He studied as a plumber<\/strong> but he performed this profession only for 1 year. Around this time, he met the future<strong> UFC fighter, Tom Egan<\/strong>, and started to train together. Conor ended the profession as plumber and fully began to do <strong>box and MMA.&nbsp;<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[2]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_beginning_of_MMA_career\"><\/span>The beginning of MMA career<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2007, when Conor was 18 years old, he debuted in an amateur MMA fight<strong> &#8220;Cage of Truth&#8221;<\/strong> against Ciaran Campbell. He won after the first round thanks to <strong>technical knockout (TKO).<\/strong>&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[6]<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During training in the gym, he was noticed by John Kavanagh, the known box trainer. He liked Conor&#8217;s <strong>style of fighting<\/strong>, his <strong>zeal and impetuosity <\/strong>with which he flung into the fight.&nbsp;He made an agreement with him. If he manages to defeat two of the best fighters who go to his gym, he will start to train with him and will make a professional out of him. John was<strong> the only Irish in history<\/strong> who achieved <strong>a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu<\/strong> and training with him was great motivation for Conor. That&#8217;s why he defeated both &#8220;the best&#8221; fighters and opened the gate to <strong>professional career of MMA fighter.&nbsp;<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.sk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Jose_Aldo_vs._Conor_McGregor_UFC_189_World_Tour_London.jpg\" alt=\"Conor McGregor\" class=\"wp-image-400579\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Jose_Aldo_vs._Conor_McGregor_UFC_189_World_Tour_London.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Jose_Aldo_vs._Conor_McGregor_UFC_189_World_Tour_London-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Jose_Aldo_vs._Conor_McGregor_UFC_189_World_Tour_London-1124x748.jpg 1124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Author of the photo: Andrius Petrucenia https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Jos%C3%A9_Aldo_vs._Conor_McGregor,_UFC_189_World_Tour_London.jpg<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professional_career_in_MMA\"><\/span>Professional career in MMA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conor had his first fight on 8th of March 2008 in the competition <strong>&#8220;Cage Warriors&#8221;<\/strong> in lightweight against Gary Morris.

In the lower league of MMA fights, the financial rewards for winners were very low. He was still living with his parents and his outlook for independence didn&#8217;t seem very promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the fact that he was a<strong>holder of two European Championships<\/strong> and had won some impressive winnings, in 2012, he was considering<strong> the end of his career as an MMA fighter.<\/strong> <em>&#8220;There are many cases when you are fighting with yourself and persuading that it will get better,&#8221;<\/em> Conor commented on his situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>His own mother called trainer John Kavanagh to speak to her son.

He was training onward and 9 weeks since the moment he had wanted to end his career, something that he hasn&#8217;t even hoped for happened. He was spoken by <strong>Dan White, UFC president,<\/strong> and signed a contract with him for several fights.

McGregor was the second Irish at the time, who became the UFC member. The first one was Conor&#8217;s friend Tom Egan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>McGregor debuted in ultimate fight against Marcus Brimage on 6th April 2013 and won <strong>after 1 minute and 7 seconds<\/strong>. Besides winning, Conor brought the award <strong>&#8220;The best knockout of the evening!&#8221;<\/strong> for the first time. This award was not the last one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a line of five UFC wins which were finished by unique fight <strong>Aldo vs. McGregor<\/strong> in 2015. Jos\u00e9 Aldo was the champion of the UFC in featherweight since 2011 and<strong> no one has defeated him<\/strong> since then. Therefore, until the moment when he stood against McGregor in octagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>President of UFC admitted that advising fight McGregor vs. Aldo became the most promoted action in the UFC history. Conor defeated Aldo <strong>by knockout in the first round after less than 14 seconds<\/strong> of the fight. He became <strong>the champion of the world in featherweight<\/strong> and at the same time, the only fighter who was able to defeat Brazilian fighter.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[2] <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>By winning over Aldo and obtaining title of the middle division, he <strong>achieved one of his goals.<\/strong> That&#8217;s why he set another goal. He decided to achieve title in <strong>light division<\/strong> and to become the first UFC fighter who would have the first place in<strong> two weight categories at once.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, Conor challenged Nate Diaz, the award holder in lightweight. However, he wasn&#8217;t able to defeat him. The winner was Diaz and McGregor<strong> lost after a long time.<\/strong> It was Conor&#8217;s first loss in UFC and the third in his career. He broke his record of 15 winnings since 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>McGregor wasn&#8217;t able to satisfy with loss and desired to win at all costs. That&#8217;s why he challenged Nate Diaz for reciprocation. In less than 4 months, these two MMA fighters met in ring again. McGregor won and <strong>finally defeated<\/strong> Diaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For UFC, this fight was one of the <strong>most profitable.<\/strong> They earned an unbelievable 1 650000 PPV on it. Pay-per-view (PPV) is a type of service by its means the viewer can buy the rights for watching UFC fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The following fight was with Eddie Alvarez who was defeated in the second round by McGregor. He succeeded in achieving another goal and <strong>became the champion of the world in two divisions at once.&nbsp;<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[3]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_end_of_the_career_as_UFC_fighter\"><\/span>The end of the career as UFC fighter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After McGregor inactivity in 2017, his two titles of champion were removed. He wasn&#8217;t able to defend either of them. He took time off and spent time with his newborn son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, he stood in the ring for the last time against Russian<strong> Khabib Nurmagodemov.<\/strong> The fight was accompanied by some controversial incidents. Before the fight, McGregor and his team attacked a bus in which was Khabib&#8217;s team. McGregor threw the chair through the window of the bus.<strong> The rivalry<\/strong> between fighters was increasing. Just after the fight which was won by Khabib, there was a fight in the ring between both teams and even between families of the fighters. It was discovered later that <strong>the first knock<\/strong> was initiated by McGregor.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[3] <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On 26th of March 2019, McGregor announced on social media Twitter that <strong>he ends the career of MMA fighter.<\/strong> However, his trainer didn&#8217;t confirm it and president of UFC declared that McGregor will definitely partake in several fights in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement about the end of his career was closely before he was arrested for attack and thievery. The situation happened when one of his fans tried to take a photo of Conor as he was going out of the club. Conor didn&#8217;t like it and took a phone and broke it. <strong>The aggressiveness<\/strong> wasn&#8217;t appearing only at the fights but also in the private life. On the social medias, McGregor presents himself as &#8220;men of the people&#8221;. He vulgarly speaks about world events and swear on the politicians.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conor_McGregors_style_of_MMA_fight\"><\/span>Conor McGregor&#8217;s style of MMA fight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>McGregor is known mostly as an aggressive <strong>fighter<\/strong> and prefers <strong>a standing fight.<\/strong> During the fights, he is trying to be <strong>aggressor<\/strong>, and therefore he attacks as the first one. His boxing dexterity is considered his best attribute.

McGregor in UFC often and publicly offended champion of the world to box<strong> Floyd<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Mayweathera Jr.<\/strong> and challenged him for the box fight not only once. Mayweather was first entertained by this idea. In 2015, when he was retiring and McGregor wasn&#8217;t an interesting rival for him because he never boxed professionally. The pressure from the media and McGregor&#8217;s fans was too intensive and Floyd<strong> agreed<\/strong> with the fight after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The president of UFC didn&#8217;t support this fight and was strictly against it. Conor had <strong>signed the contract with UFC<\/strong> and he wasn&#8217;t boxer but MMA fighter. After this advised fight&nbsp;<strong>McGregor vs. Mayweather&nbsp;<\/strong>was popularly increasing, Dan White rethought his announcement. The vision of <strong>great earning<\/strong>, which this fight could bring for UFC, was big. On the 30th of November 2016, UFC obtained<strong> professional box licence<\/strong> for Conor from California State Athletic Commision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On 26th August in Nevada, the most anticipated fight of the decade also called <strong>&#8220;The Money Fight&#8221;<\/strong> or <strong>&#8220;The Biggest Fight in Combat Sports History&#8221;<\/strong> happened. <strong>The world champion of five divisions in box, Floyd Mayweather Jr.<\/strong>, and <strong>holder of titles the world champion of two divisions in MMA, Conor McGregor<\/strong> stood against each other in ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The fight was planned for <strong>12 rounds<\/strong> and its viewership achieved the second highest value in the <strong>PPV history (4.3 million).<\/strong> Despite the fact that Conor was not a professional boxer, he resisted until 10th round which was not expected by anyone. Finally, the fight was over after TKO and the winner was <strong>unbeatable Mayweather.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Later at the press conference, Conor said that the stopping signal of the fight was <strong>early.<\/strong> He was tired and concussed, but after a short break he would had been able to continue. Mayweather achieved his <strong>50th winning in career<\/strong> and by this, he beat the record of Rocky Marciano. Both fighters obtained not small sum of money. Floyd obtained <strong>275 million dollars<\/strong> and McGregor obtained<strong> 85 million dollars.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;This was my last fight.
