McGregor's biography describes an ordinary childhood, which most children from not very rich families have: street adventures with friends, primitive household chores, schoolwork, simple childhood hobbies, watching films and football matches on TV. From childhood, the boy was a fan of Manchester United, he himself played football at a fairly good level and even at one time played for the Luders Celtic club in his age category.
However, at the age of 12, Conor’s passion for playing leather ball subsided somewhat, but a new hobby appeared - kickboxing. McGregor decided to learn this art under the supervision of a professional. Purposefulness is the main positive trait in the Irish character. Believing in himself and luck helped the guy achieve success in martial arts. He won the All-Ireland Under 18 Championship.
Here is the basic information from the biography and personal life of Conor McGregor before the “star” era.
Fly in the ointment: why Conor quit his career
Now Dee and Conor are collecting the fruits of their labors. The girl believed in her man and helped him in all his endeavors. And he achieved stunning success, becoming a famous athlete, earned millions and now can afford his beloved woman everything she wants.
“Now I make millions of dollars. My fights attract 50-70 thousand spectators. I can afford any car, any clothes, any home. And she deserves all this and more. She’s also always there and says that I can do anything,” says Conor McGregor.
Conor McGregor with his son
Conor McGregor's personal life is back on track. He was a happy husband, an excellent professional in his field. And in 2017, the love of Dee and Conor culminated in the birth of their first child - a son, whom the couple named after the famous father Conor Jack.
The couple received even more happiness in January 2020 - they had another child.
It would seem that Conor McGregor’s personal life is such that one can only envy it. But it was not there. Then, at the beginning of 2019, it turned out that Conor had another child - an illegitimate daughter from British woman Terri Murray. Conor has not yet admitted his paternity, but the girl insists on a paternity test.
Terry Murray says she's not vying for her daughter's biological father's money, but just wants the child to have a dad, at least an officially recognized one.

Before he became famous
Conor McGregor as a child, in his own words, had the appearance of a kid who wanted to hang around. He was pestered by bully boys at school, and therefore, for the sake of personal safety, he began to study self-defense techniques. Could school bullies have imagined that they would have a hand in the development of Conor McGregor - the fighting Irishman, MMA hero.
McGregor's first mentor was the experienced John Kavanagh. He is confident that his ward has achieved international recognition not only due to talent, but primarily due to hard work and diligence. Well, the luck factor also cannot be discounted. John taught Conor to react adequately to defeats and not to lose heart under any circumstances. The future champion delved into all this thoroughly.
At the age of 16, the guy decided to carefully study and master the intricacies of mixed martial arts techniques. He began training under the tutelage of coach Tom Egan at SBG Ireland. It is worth noting that genetics played a significant role here, because Conor’s dad boxed a little in his youth. Mom also strongly supported her son in his sporting endeavors. In 2006, the McGregors, due to various circumstances, were forced to move to another Dublin suburb - Lucan. The young man completed his college studies there.
Beginning of a professional career
The young man worked as a plumber for a year, and then decided to give up on this business and focus on sports.
Conor made his debut in mixed martial arts predictably at lightweight, since in his youth he was fit and lean. In those days, he did not gain weight above 66 kilograms. In his youth, the guy performed without his brutal beard and had his hair cut very short.
In 2007, the athlete made a successful start at the Ring of Truth 6 tournament with a victory over another newcomer named Ciaran Campbell. The latter was awarded a technical knockout in the first round. Conor's opponent was so dejected by the failure that after the fight he said goodbye to professional sports.
In 2008, Conor won victories at the Cage of Truth and Cage Rage tournaments. First, the fighter beat compatriot Gary Morris in the second five-minute period, and then technically knocked out Belgian Mo Taylor in the first round.
This was followed by the first defeat in his career: the young fighter lost to the athlete from Lithuania Artemy Sitenkov. Pribalt performed an effective painful hold at the beginning of the second minute of the fight and won. The fiasco was subsequently made up for with two successful performances against Stephen Bailey and Connor Dillon.
In 2010, McGregor lost to Joseph Duffy and was incredibly upset. It is gratifying that the fighter received psychological support from his most beloved women: his mother and common-law wife Di. As the athlete admits, then he wanted to leave the sport, but they dissuaded him.
After this, Conor won 5 victories in a row and perked up. On February 18, 2012, he made his debut in the featherweight division and knocked out Englishman Steve O'Keefe with elbows in the first round. Six months later, the Irishman won the CWFC featherweight title in a duel with another Briton, Dave Hill. At the end of the season, Conor achieved another triumph - the CageWarriors lightweight championship - in a battle with Ivan Buchinger, who competes under the banner of Slovakia.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
The owner of two championship titles in different weight categories could not help but pay attention to the UFC. The invitation followed immediately.
McGregor fought his first battle in the organization in the spring of 2013, knocking out American Marcus Brimage (“Best Knockout of the Night”) and not disgracing the Irish flag. After this fight, McGregor's career took a short four-month break by MMA standards due to a torn cruciate ligament. I had to take a “sabbatical” to recover.
The return to the octagon after injury was marked by a victory over US fighter Max Holloway in a three-round confrontation.
Then Brazilian Diego Brandao fell under Conor’s powerful blows (McGregor’s jiu-jitsu coach would have been pleased). Viewers were also able to see that the Irishman had more tattoos - a drawing appeared on the athlete’s chest. The hairstyle also changed: the hair on the top of the head was braided into dreadlocks.
This was followed by a series of successful battles. First, in the fall of 14th, Conor dealt with the American Dustin Poirier, and then, in January 15th, with the German Dennis Siefer.
Conor's title fight with Chad Mendes (USA) was scheduled for July 11, 2015. In the first round, the American dominated; in the end, McGregor received a blow to the eye and a cut on the eyebrow from his opponent, and then ended up on the bottom. The siren at halftime saved us from defeat. In the second segment of the fight, the Irishman went all-in and was again knocked to the floor. However, he broke free and knocked Chad out at the end of the round and was automatically recognized as the interim featherweight champion.
In December, after a 13-second brawl with Brazilian fighter Jose Aldo, Conor unified the UFC featherweight championship belts and was recognized as the best fighter of the previous year.
McGregor's defeat in the next fight was unexpected for everyone. Failure can be justified by moving to a “heavier” weight category. This time Notorious's counterpart was American Nate Diaz. The action continued for almost two rounds until Diaz applied a rear naked choke and got the better of the champion. Despite everything, he receives his first million bucks for the fight.
Six months later, the Irishman achieved revenge, earned three million “green” into the family budget and the “Best Fight of the Evening” bonus.
Conor's last appearance in the octagon in 2020 was a title fight with lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez. McGregor not only won, but also set a record in UFC history by winning two championship belts in different categories.
The main intrigue of 2017 can rightfully be called the “fight of the century” between our hero and Floyd Mayweather according to the rules of classic boxing. The Irishman got an idea about himself who knows what, and decided that he could do anything, including a local triumph in a related combat sport.
The arrogance of the charismatic MMA athlete has reached its climax. He promised to destroy his opponent no later than the second round and take the multi-million dollar fee into his pocket. As the course of the fight showed, in boxing it is important not only to be able to swing your fists well, but also to correctly distribute energy throughout the entire confrontation.
In the first rounds, Conor put a fair amount of pressure on his opponent and had a visual advantage. “The cunning fox” Mayweather did not force events, he defended himself, “letting his interlocutor speak out” and gradually exhausting him. The fight was interrupted in the 10th round by the judge's decision, which recorded a technical knockout. This meant that Floyd remained undefeated and won the 50th anniversary victory of his career. And then the winner bowed out and announced his retirement from his sports career.
A plumber's tale: he didn't have money for food, but now he has everything. Amazing Conor McGregor
In this regard, “Soviet Sport” talks about the most interesting facts from the life of an athlete.
McGregor is a Manchester United fan
Since childhood, Conor has been interested in sports. Initially, he was attracted to football and was a fan of Manchester United (England). Later, he himself played on the football field for the Luders Celtic team.
McGregor still follows football and even attended the World Cup finals, which took place in Russia. France defeated Croatia, but it is unknown which team McGregor was worried about.
Conor was often bullied as a child
McGregor began to show interest in martial arts while still in school. Due to his weak physique and short stature, he often became a victim of teenage squabbles. Moreover, their result was not in his favor. Then the boy realized the need to master self-defense techniques. For a while, he even carried a small dumbbell with him to protect himself from ill-wishers.
The future UFC champion began training in mixed martial arts at the age of 16, and at 18 he was already in the sports institution SPG Ireland.
During his years at school, Conor often took part in fights, so his parents periodically visited the principal's office.
Typical Irish plumber
After leaving school, McGregor expected to become a plumber, as his father insisted that his son continue his work. Conor's father was a fighter himself, he started with boxing, but did not become a professional in the sport.
The young man got a job as a plumber's apprentice and, at the same time, took part in battles. McGregor's life has not always been successful. In his youth, he had to try himself both as a plumber and as a builder. Conor had to get up at six in the morning and go to work, which took two hours to get to. After a year and a half, McGregor realized that he had to make a choice between professions, and went into sports.
The first coach of the Irish fighter, John Kavanagh, said that Conor spent days and nights in the gym. He trained without rest to achieve his goals.
Cried after the defeat
In January 2008, at COT 3 in Dublin, McGregor suffered the first defeat of his career. Lithuanian Artemy Sitenkov performed a submission and forced Conor to surrender at 69 seconds of the fight. After this failure, McGregor cried. But these tears made him much stronger.
Knocked out a legend in 13 seconds
McGregor received his nickname “Notorious” during his fight in the ROT: Ring of Truth 6 tournament in 2007. Then he knocked out Ciaran Cambell in the first five minutes.
The fastest victory in Conor's career was in 2011. He knocked out opponent Patrick Dohety in just four seconds.
But the coolest victory in McGregor’s career was a knockout in a fight against the legendary Brazilian Jose Aldo. On December 12, 2015, the Irishman knocked out his opponent with his first focused blow and became the UFC featherweight champion. It took Conor only 13 seconds to do this.
And this is still the fastest knockout in the promotion's championship fights. We also note that Aldo had not lost for ten years before this.
Lucky with my wife
McGregor met his wife Dee Devlin in a nightclub. The couple went through a lot of difficulties and life trials together. Di Devlin always supported her husband, monitored his regime and proper nutrition. The couple have been in a civil marriage for about ten years. The couple still lives happily and has two children.
Signature walk
A fighter’s gait is his unique “trick”. However, we note that the hand movements were first demonstrated by the CEO and Chairman of the Board of WWE, Vince McMahon. Almost everyone copied the athlete’s gait.
The richest fighter in the world
McGregor is the highest paid UFC fighter. He was the first to receive a million dollars for entering the fight, and later tripled this amount (he received three million for the fight). The athlete achieved such record-breaking success in just three years.
According to some reports, McGregor received over $30 million for the fight against Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov. As we all remember, Conor lost in the fourth round by submission.
McGregor's style
An important part of McGregor's image is his tattoos and beard. The athlete works tirelessly on his image. His first tattoo was an Arabic inscription placed on his leg. Also on his body there is an image of a gorilla with a crown on his head, a crucifix, a rose, a tiger and others. One of the best stylists in the world, David August, is working on the fighter’s image. In 2014, Conor became Ireland's Most Stylish Man at the prestigious Peter Mark VIP ceremony in Dublin.
"Fight of the Century"
On August 26, 2020, the boxing “fight of the century” took place between Conor McGregor and the legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather. Floyd won by technical knockout, but in the end both fighters received huge money for entering the ring. McGregor received over $100 million and provided for himself and his entire family for many years to come. He opened his own business creating alcoholic beverages and has no plans to return to mixed martial arts.
Established himself as a coach
Conor McGregor took part in the television project TUF 22. He acted as a coach of the European team that fought with the American one. The Irishman argued that if the correct schedule of fights was drawn up, the European team would win. And so it happened.
Watches, cars and all sorts of expensive things
According to some sources, Conor is believed to be the grandson of Mathers McGregor, an Irish entrepreneur, philanthropist, warrior and collector of Irish fine art. This fact would explain his passion for combat, entrepreneurship and luxury.
The athlete loves watches very much. He has a whole collection of expensive accessories for all occasions: “simpler” and luxury ones for large-scale events. Apparently, the passion for watches was passed on to him from his father.
Sister is also powerful
The fighter's sister Erin is also an athlete. The girl is engaged in bodybuilding.
McGregor is the icing on the UFC cake
Throughout his entire sports career, McGregor won 21 victories and suffered four defeats. He headlined five of the UFC's six top-selling events.
Best Selling Events in UFC History

Business and wealth
Conor McGregor's net worth as of 2020 was around $130 million. And this is not surprising: the man is successful in sports and enterprising in business. His fans are sure that it’s all about his persistent Irish character, which forces him to get involved in any adventurous business and does not allow him to rest on his laurels. It seems that Conor is ready to work 24 hours a day and fight non-stop. The fighter himself claims that he makes a lot of money for “beating the crap out of people” and does it perfectly.
He also ventured into the production of signature whiskey. At the end of 2018, Notorious presented an alcoholic product called Proper Twelve (“Correct 12”), which is produced at his family enterprise Erie Born Spirits.
A certain portion of the funds received from sales, namely $5 per bottle, is planned to be allocated for charitable assistance to rescue services.
But his main source of income is fighting.
Here's how much McGregor earned at different times:
- for his first fight in the UFC he received 8 thousand dollars;
- for the fourth – already 75 thousand;
- for the sixth - as much as half a million;
- for the eighth - a million;
- for the ninth – 3!
The path from a fee of 8 thousand to 3 million was completed in less than 3 years. In addition to payment for entering the octagon, a fighter of McGregor’s level has the right to count on bonuses from the sponsor, bonuses from the founder of the competition and a percentage from television broadcasts.
Despite the fiasco in the boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, the Irishman was a financial winner! Of course, he was owed at least 30 million bucks for participation, and this does not take into account income from sales of tickets, accessories and royalties for television broadcasts - a lot of money!
Conor spends the money he earns not only on himself and his family, he also donates a lot to charity.
Of course, Conor McGregor’s house is a real work of architecture, but how could it be otherwise! However, what kind of mansion are we talking about exactly? In Las Vegas or Dublin? Doesn't matter, they're both great.
Conor McGregor's cars - a separate article needs to be written about this. There are several of them, and they are all very cool cars - BMW, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes and others.
Conor McGregor's watch is, of course, a Swiss Rolex, who would doubt it!
And Conor McGregor's clothes are from the best couturiers in the world. In general, formal, expensive suits look great on a guy. Unnoticed, Conor has become an icon of sophisticated dressing style.
Personal life
Conor McGregor's life is a kaleidoscope of ordinary and amazing events.
One day, nineteen-year-old Conor noticed a pretty girl in a nightclub and decided to win her affection. It turned out just as he had nicely planned. The guys met, introduced themselves to each other, it turned out that the girl’s name was Dee Devlin, and she worked as a waitress in a bar. McGregor used all his charm and natural sense of humor. The plan worked. From that evening, the young people never parted. After some time, they began to cohabit without officially registering the relationship.
At first, the lovers lived in a rented apartment. There was a catastrophic lack of money, because Dee worked alone, and Conor received only a modest social unemployment benefit and spent all his free time training. Dee looked after her loved one like a child: she gave her the best piece, created home comfort as much as possible, and gave her a ride to the gym. Looking ahead, we note: all these difficulties in the future were more than compensated for when McGregor began earning decent money through fights without rules.
And the MMA star appreciated these sacrifices on the part of his partner and friend in the future. In all interviews, he emphasizes that he owes everything to the woman he loves.
In the spring of 2017, the McGregors had a child - a son named Conor Jack. At birth, the baby weighed 4 kilos. The Irish fighter is confident that his son is the only person in the world who will eventually be able to break all the records set by his father.
Conor McGregor's hairstyle changes over time, but we must admit that any haircut on his head looks good - it's clear that his personal hairdresser doesn't eat his bread in vain.
Conor McGregor's tattoos came gradually. First there was a spiral of spikes on the back along the spine and a crucifix on the back of the neck. Later - roses with a dagger and a man in a top hat on his arm, and on his chest - a gorilla with a crown. There is also a tiger head on the stomach, framed by the inscriptions: Mcgregor and Notorious.

In addition, the Irishman is not averse to appearing on social networks once again. He especially loves posting videos and photos on Instagram. Now these are mostly pictures with his son and Dee Devlin, and in the recent past - selfies with new tattoos, hairstyles and suits. And, of course, footage of combat work.
In 2017, John Kavanagh’s book “Life Without Rules” was published, which describes how a guy from a poor family becomes an idol of millions and a rich man.
Video
A lot of people watch videos with McGregor. And these are not always martial arts fans. There really is something to see. On the Internet you can find different videos, fights during a fight, fights after a fight...

Last Stand
For several years, the sports community and fans have been waiting for a clash in the octagon between the two most ambitious mixed martial arts fighters of our time - Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. Both were throwing powerful tirades at each other, but when exactly the meeting would take place and how much they would pay for the fight was unknown for a long time. The Dagestani was fidgety, the Irishman was rude. The latter either challenged the Russian to fight, or said that the opponent was not yet mature enough to fight him.
On April 5, 2020, Conor was infuriated by the slap given by Nurmagomedov to his Russian sparring partner Artem Lobov, who behind his back called Khabib a “pisser” for allegedly frequently refusing to hold certain important fights. The angry Irishman, along with his guards and friends, attacked the Nurmagomedov team bus. No one was seriously injured, and Conor himself surrendered to the police, but was released on bail.
In August of the same year, it became known: the meeting between McGregor and Nurmagomedov would take place on October 6.
Before the start of the fight, the hostile atmosphere was felt everywhere. Entering the cage and meeting in the center of the court, the opponents did not bother to shake hands.
From the first moments of the fight, Khabib took the advantage. In the opening round, Conor was sent to the floor. In the second, the Dagestani's pressure intensified. In the third, Notorius began to act more persistently, and some of his punches landed, but they could not break Khabib. In the fourth round, the Dagestani knocked down the Irishman once again and applied a choke, after which the opponent surrendered.
After the winner of Conor’s last fight for today was announced, a fighter from his team provoked a fight. First, Khabib himself jumped into the crowd of offenders, and behind him, members of Nurmagomedov’s team attacked McGregor and his people. With difficulty, the fight outside the octagon was stopped. As a result, three Russians ended up in a police station. A little later, McGregor posted on Twitter that he was demanding revenge.
Sports career
McGregor fought his first professional fight in 2007, performing at the Ring of Truth 6 tournament. From the first minutes of the fight, he took the initiative into his own hands, as a result of which his opponent went into a technical knockout.
Conor soon won victories over opponents such as Gary Morris, Mo Taylor, Paddy Doherty and Mike Wood. However, sometimes there were defeats.
In 2008, McGregor lost the fight to Lithuanian Artemy Sitenkov, and 2 years later he turned out to be weaker than his compatriot Joseph Duffy. At some point in his biography, he even wanted to leave the sport. This was due to financial difficulties.
Conor McGregor had to work as a plumber to improve his financial situation. But when another sports tournament in mixed martial arts caught his eye, he decided to resume training.
At the age of 24, Conor moved up to featherweight. After only 2 successful fights, he became the leader of the Cage Warriors. He soon returned to the lightweight category by defeating champion Ivan Buchinger.
This victory allowed McGregor to win the championship in two weight categories at once. The UFC management drew attention to the promising fighter and eventually signed him to a contract.
Conor's first opponent in the new organization was Marcus Brimage, whom he managed to defeat. After that, he turned out to be stronger than Max Holloway. In his last fight, McGregor received a serious injury that prevented him from entering the ring for about 10 months.
After a long break, the fighter defeated Diego Brandan by technical knockout in the first round. After that, he won the fight with Chad Mendes, who was a 2-time NCAA champion.
At the end of 2020, the long-awaited fight between Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo took place. This fight was heavily promoted and presented as one of the most exciting in recent years.
However, already at the beginning of the first round, Conor dealt Aldo a crushing blow, from which he could no longer recover. This allowed him to become a champion.
A year later, McGregor lost to Nate Diaz, but in the rematch he still managed to win, albeit at the cost of incredible effort.
In 2020, the Irishman won the UFC lightweight title. It was during this period of his biography that Conor received a challenge from the Dagestan fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov. It is worth noting that legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather also wanted to fight McGregor.
