Ireland&#8217;s finest \u2013 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Notorious <\/span><\/i><b>Conor McGregor <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a phenomenon that has both die-hard fans and total haters with no in-between. He was must-see TV in his prime, crushing opponents in the octagon and press conferences alike. However, he hasn&#8217;t had a professional MMA bout since 2021. With the comeback fight against Michael Chandler looming ever closer, let&#8217;s look at <\/span><b>Conor Mcgregor&#8217;s MMA record <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and his most memorable wins and losses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conor McGregor&#8217;s MMA Record and Fighting Style<\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image credits to Ka-50 from Goodfon.com\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>MMA Record as of May 2024<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Win No \u2013 22<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wins by KO &#8211; 19<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Losses \u2013 6<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conor McGregor has been active in professional MMA since 2008. His debut win against Gary Harris only took <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Notorious <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 whole seconds. He is known to be a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">counter-striker<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a powerful knockout artist, having high-profile fights ending very quickly in his favour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, he is best known for his antics and trash-talking. His pre-fight faceoffs are always must-see TV, with McGregor putting on a show and never shying away from controversy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an MMA fighter in UFC, the Irishman has been ranked as the world&#8217;s highest-paid athlete in 2021, earning a whopping $180 million United States dollars, per reports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>UFC on Fuel TV \u2013 Debut Win Against Marcus Brimage<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UFC Debut: Conor McGregor vs Marcus Brimage | Free Fight\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HelivOF6vI8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It didn&#8217;t take long for fans of fighting to notice the talent of this fighting Irishman from Dublin. In April of 2013, Conor had his first UFC bout on <\/span><b>UFC on Fuel TV.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> He faced a decent opponent in <\/span><b>Marcus Brimage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bama Beast <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">went up against a fighter from Ireland who had a respectable record elsewhere but was unproven and largely unknown in the UFC. Once the bell rang, it only took Conor a minute and a few seconds to trundle his opponent and win by TKO. His charisma was on full display and many people fell in love with his style right there and then.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>UFC 178: Conor Beats His Rival Dustin Poirier<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Conor Mcgregor Vs Dustin Poirier   UFC 178\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XmK-VVW4EzY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In total, Conor McGregor has faced <\/span><b>Dustin Poirier <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 times. He won once in 2014 and lost twice in a row in 2021. This time, let&#8217;s focus on the winning side of <\/span><b>Connor McGregor&#8217;s MMA record <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and look back to <\/span><b>UFC 178 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">when he won in the 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> round by TKO against his American rival. Back then, no one thought this would become a very long and bitter rivalry, yet it did.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>UFC 194: 13 Seconds and Out \u2013 Conor Hammers Jose Aldo<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Conor McGregor&#039;s 13-Second KO of Jose Aldo | UFC 194, 2015 | On This Day\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7qrVQwjieac?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All great fighters face doubters and adversity and have to overcome hard challenges. As Conor was already gathering traction as a rising superstar, a challenge came in the shape of Jose Aldo\u2014someone with a DECADE-LONG streak of not being defeated. Yup, from 2005 until 2015, no one could give Aldo the business. So, the Irishman came in as an underdog with a mountain to climb. Yet, it only took him 13 seconds to KO Jose Aldo in <\/span><b>UFC 194<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To this day, it&#8217;s still one of the fastest knockouts in MMA history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>UFC 202: Avenging the Loss vs Nate Diaz<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UFC FREE Fight: McGregor Vs Diaz 2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TU_-nj0pn8k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conor has a history with most of his opponents. Due to his antics, he tends to get his opponents on sort of like a vendetta path against him. The same happened with Nate Diaz. Right after his blitz win against Aldo, McGregor faced off against a much less popular yet formidable Nate Diaz in <\/span><b>UFC 196<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and lost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A rematch was scheduled to happen in 5 months, and in <\/span><b>UFC 202<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Conor got revenge and won via majority decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>UFC 205: Champ-Champ Conor McGregor defeats Eddy Alvarez<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UFC 205: McGregor Vs Eddie Alvarez Full Fight\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DLpTx00PSgo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In November of 2016, Connor was at the top of his game. It was apparent as he seemingly dominated <\/span><b>Eddie Alvarez <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in <\/span><b>UFC 205<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It only took <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Notorious <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one and a half rounds to deliver fight-ending blows and have a TKO in the 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> round. Even though there were lots of praise around the Irishman before this bout, you could say this victory solidified McGregor&#8217;s status as a top-tier fighter. It also introduced the term &#8220;champ-champ&#8221; to the MMA world as he became the first UFC fighter to hold two titles \u2013 <\/span><b>lightweight champion <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and featherweight champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>UFC 229: Conor Taps Out vs Khabib<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor | FULL FIGHT | UFC Classic\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JuBBIJ7adjM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conor has had high-profile wins and losses, too.

The undefeated Chechen <\/span><b>Khabib Nurmagomedov <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">went up against the Irishman, who was still a top-calibre fighter even though he hadn&#8217;t had a fight in UFC for 2 whole years at that point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, for bookmakers and experts, Khabib was the heavy favourite. Turns out that this was the right prediction as he famously forced <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Notorious <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to tap out, later on taunting him about this very incident.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>UFC 264: Broken Leg Equals Losing<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UFC Free FIGHT: Poirier vs McGregor 3\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z3Cz0vBFYxI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 3<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instalment of McGregor vs Poirier, the situation was very intense. Conor had been on his usual trash-talking tour, saying very mean things to throw the American off his game and get fans excited about the fight.
