Conor McGregor Celebrates Sharing His KO Win Over Jose Aldo and Launching Proper 12 on the Same Day With 4th Child Mack McGregor’s Birthday

Conor McGregor is a really wealthy man. ‘Notorious’ used his brand value to good use, setting up a slew of businesses that have made him the richest mixed martial artist in the world. His most successful business endeavor has been his ‘Proper Number 12’, in which his parent company’s majority stake made him and his partners around $600 million.

And ‘Mac’ has started an annual rite of celebrating ‘Proper Twelve Day’ on 12/12 or December 12th every year. And the bombastic Irishman took to social media to mark this year’s iteration of the occasion and tell fans why the day held so much significance for him.

Conor McGregor marks ‘Proper Twelve Day’

Conor McGregor was the first fighter in UFC history to become a concurrent two-division UFC champion, at the zenith of his popularity in the UFC. ‘Mac’ famously knocked out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds at UFC 194 to unify the UFC featherweight title and become the first consecutive UFC double-champ on December 12, 2015.

In addition, the former champion revealed that his newborn son, Mack, had turned 12 days old on December 12. To mark the occasion this year, the Irishman wished fans and posted highlights from last year’s Proper 12-Day revelry.

“Happy Proper Twelve Day everyone! The 12th of the 12th, December. The day I unified the @ufc featherweight World Title and the day I created Proper No. Twelve! Today, on this one also, my new born son Mack, is Twelve days old! Wow! God is shining! God bless! Here is a look at last year’s Proper Twelve Day celebrations and we are upping the stakes again this year! Performances and festivities on all throughout the day and into the night! Yup the Proper Twelve Day!” he captioned the post.

Last year’s celebrations were held at McGregor’s ‘The Black Forge Inn’ pub in his hometown of Dublin, which has been in the news for the wrong reasons recently. There were riots in the city following the stabbing of five people, including three children, in the city last month. And McGregor’s response to the tragedy has heightened speculation that he might be looking to get into politics as his MMA career wanes.

McGregor hints at running for political office

The Dubliner had a hardline take on the issue, which has been slammed as ‘anti-immigrant’ and divisive by critics. ‘Mac’ promised ‘big changes’ in the country and posted a picture of himself with the caption “Ireland, your President. (shamrock leaf and heart emoji)” on his Twitter account.

In the past seven years, Conor McGregor has fought five times, losing three of them. Many feel that the level of wealth and fame that McGregor has reached in his career has robbed him of the drive and hunger that a young McGregor had. Given his fame, name recognition, and penchant for theatrics, he might as well try his hands at politics. Stranger things have happened, after all. What do you think of McGregor’s interest in joining politics? Let us know in the comments.
