CONOR McGregor has helped bring MMA into the mainstream.
‘The Notorious’ is one of the most decorated UFC fighters of all time and returns to the Octogan after an unsuccessful stint in the boxing ring.
Who is Conor McGregor, who’s his girlfriend and what is his net worth?
The 30-year-old is a former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion and a former featherweight champ.
The Irishman, from Crumlin in Dublin, has been active since 2008 but turned pro in 2017.
He has been with his girlfriend Dee Devlin, since 2008, and their first son was born on May 5, 2017.
In 2017, McGregor announced he would take time off from the UFC to wait for the birth of his first child.
He has been crowned at the top of his game in both featherweight and now lightweight categories, but was stripped of his lightweight strap in April this year.
McGregor has earned a staggering amount in his decade-long career.
The MMA superstar is known mostly as a striker and prefers to fight standing up as opposed to on the ground.
In 2017, McGregor was rated number 24 on Forbes World’s Highest-Paid Athletes.
His net worth as of October 2018 is estimated to be $100million (£76.2m), with a hefty pay packet coming his way if he wins or loses at UFC 229.
What happened in the New York bus attack and was he charged?
The superstar was charged with three counts of assault and one of criminal mischief by US courts after he gatecrashed a UFC media day.
In April 2018 in a moment of madness, he burst into the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and threw a dolly into fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov’s bus.
McGregor was allowed to return to Ireland, but returns to court on June 14 and is facing a maximum jail sentence of seven years.
The bus attack left Mike Chiesa and Ray Borg injured and unable to appear at UFC 223 in Brooklyn.
How did McGregor plead in court?
The UFC star pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct in a Brooklyn criminal court for his involvement in the April 5 incident at the Barclays Center.
The fighter agreed to a plea deal which saw other counts dismissed.
He was given five days of community services and instructed to attend anger management classes.
Video footage, which went viral, appears to show McGregor and his entourage in an underground parking area smashing windows on a bus filled with Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters who were at the arena to publicise an upcoming UFC event.
What cars and homes does the UFC champ own?
McGregor spent $2million (£1.5million) on a new mansion, called Ladycastle in County Kildaire, Ireland, following his victory against Aldo in 2015.
He was previously holed up with his parents in their home in the Laraghcon estate in Lucan when travelling back to Ireland from the US.
McGregor is believed to have eight cars, including a gleaming white BMW i8, Cadillac Escalade and a high-powered Mercedes.
But his pride and joy is his a Rolls Royce Dawn, one of the most luxurious Rolls Royce’s for sale, where he shared a photo on his Instagram page.
They can retail as much as $350,000 (£275,000) on the market.
He even gifted close members of his family with a BMW each following the winnings he bagged from the Aldo fight.
What happened with McGregor vs Mayweather?
The professional boxing match between Conor McGregor, the two-division mixed martial arts world champion and eleven-time five-division boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr was titled the as “The Biggest Fight in Combat Sports History”.
The meeting was even dubbed “The Money Fight” for the unrivalled winnings involved.
The fight was scheduled for 12 rounds and took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, on August 26, 2017.
It recorded the second highest pay-per-view buy rate in history.
Mayweather extended his professional boxing undefeated streak to 50 victories and 0 defeats (50–0), surpassing the 49–0 record of Hall of Famer Rocky Marciano, after defeating McGregor by technical knockout in the 10th round.
However, both men came away winners in other respects.
It was reported Mayweather earned over $300,000,000 (£214million) from the fight and McGregor came away with $100million (£71million).

What happened on UFC 223 Media Day?
MMA champ Khabib Nurmagomedov and Artem Lobov are believed to have had a minor altercation in which Khabib Nurmagomedov cornered Lobov.
The groups are said to have a history of lengthy insults and confrontations.
Then, two days later on Thursday, April 5, McGregor, Lobov and a group of others allegedly attacked a bus with Nurmagomedov and his teammates on as they left the UFC 223 arena in Brooklyn.
McGregor allegedly ran up alongside the slowly moving bus and then ran past it to grab a metal equipment dolly, which he then threw at the bus’s window.
A video appears to show McGregor looking for and picking up any objects in the vicinity to throw.
The incident occurred at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, where the UFC had gathered to promote Saturday’s show, headlined by Khabib Nurmagomedov and Max Holloway.
On April 6, 2018, McGregor was charged by the NYPD with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief. Lobov has also been suspended from the bill.
A day later, the fighter was released on bail, set for £35,500 ($50,000).
Nurmagomedov and McGregor will face off on October 6, 2018 in Las Vegas, with McGregor looking to win back the lightweight belt he was stripped of following his move into boxing.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
