Former lightweight world champion at UFC 264
Since that knockout victory over Marcus Brimage in the very first round, McGregor has become a monster in the MMA world and has surpassed the sport.
In 2016, the 33-year-old made history by becoming the first fighter in UFC history to hold two belts simultaneously.
Although his record after the win against Eddie Alvarez is a bit dubious, there is no doubt about his stardom.

McGregor was virtually a skeleton at UFC 194 weight
Before his last feather fight against Jose Aldoi at UFC 194, McGregor was thin and tired when he reached the 145-pound weight limit.
Since then, he has struggled only with weight loss or welterweight, always suggesting to return to 170 pounds.

He hopes to fight back at the UFC in 2022.
