He and I have the same blood. When you doubt us, we take off. He got a couple of bumps. And he was out for a while. But I know he's coming back with a vengeance. Will he become a champion? I'm sure he will.
McGregor's last fight was against American Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. In that fight, Conor was defeated by TKO as a result of a broken leg.
McGregor made his mixed martial arts debut against fellow countryman Gary Morris in March 2008. The fight ended in favor of Conor by TKO in the second round. He has a record of 22 wins and six losses.
