Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor Net Worth 2024, Wife, Next Fight, and More Who is Conor McGregor? There&#8217;s barely any UFC fan who is not familiar with the name Conor McGregor. ConchÃºr AntÃ³in Mac GrÃ©agÃ³ir, an Irish MMA fighter, has become synonymous with the UFC, at least for an entire generation of fans. Deemed one of the highest-earning athletes in the world, the first-ever UFC two-division champion charted the Forbes No. 1 list in 2021 for his earnings both inside and outside the octagon. Apart from his fighting prowess, he is today a successful entrepreneur and very much a family man. So hereâ€™s a detailed peek into UFCâ€™s very own â€˜Notorious.â€™ Conor McGregorâ€™s early lifeÂ  McGregor was born in the year 1988 to Margaret and Tony McGregor in the capital city of Ireland, Dublin. McGregor&#8217;s mother is Margaret McGregor, and his father&#8217;s name is Tony McGregor. Apart from these two, the McGregor family also consists of the fighter&#8217;s two sisters. Erin McGregor is his oldest sister, while his second older sister is named Aoife McGregor. Erin McGregor has also appeared as a contestant in the noted celebrity dance reality show, &#8216;Dancing with the Stars&#8217;. She also works as a fitness model. On the other hand, Aoife McGregor prefers staying out of the spotlight and runs an excavation business with her husband Mark Elliott in Dublin. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; attended Irish language schools for his education. He completed his primary schooling at Gaelscoil Scoil Mologa, in Harold&#8217;s Cross. He also got admitted toÂ  GaelcholÃ¡iste ColÃ¡iste de hÃde in Tallaght.   McGregor grew up in a rather violent neighborhood of Crumlin in Dublin. He also played football in his youth. But at the age of 12, McGregor started taking boxing lessons at the Crumlin Boxing Club to raise his confidence and defend himself in the fights he often got into. McGregor shifted to Lucan in Dublin in the year 2006. He also took up an apprenticeship as a plumber. Also, it was in Lucan where McGregor had his meeting with the former UFC fighter, Tom Egan. This meeting opened up whole new avenues before McGregor. They also started training in MMA together. Conor McGregor&#8217;s wife and children First and foremost it needs to be mentioned that Conor McGregor isn&#8217;t married as of now. The Irishman has been in a relationship with his girlfriend-turned-fiance, Dee Devlin. McGregor first met Devlin in 2008 and the two have been together ever since. However, their relationship became public post-McGregor&#8217;s UFC rise in 2013. The Dublin native also got engaged to the love of his life in the year 2020. McGregor and Devlin also have four three kids together named, Conor Jr., Croai, Rian, and their latest addition, Mack. McGregor&#8217;s son, Conor Jr. is his eldest offspring, followed by his daughter Croai. Then followed by Rian, and the youngest is Mack, born in November 2023. Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth 2024 The 35-year-old Irishman took the UFC and the sport of MMA to a whole new level since he joined in 2013. McGregor showcased his superb in-octagon prowess to become the first-ever champ-champ of the UFC. Understandably, the UFC also didn&#8217;t limit itself financially and awarded McGregor lucrative contracts.   &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; also holds an awesome insight about how he can multiply his money with investments. He has invested in numerous businesses to date and makes some hefty amounts from there as well. As far as reports suggest, &#8216;Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth&#8217; stands at a whopping $200M by the end of the year 2024. McGregor also receives his salary per fight, like every other UFC fighter. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; earned his all-time highest base salary in his two last bouts against the famed lightweight, Dustin Poirier, which stood at a whopping $5M. The same bouts also earned him his biggest paydays. Also, McGregor&#8217;s total earnings from both bouts were exactly the same. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; pocketed an insane $5,011,000 for each of the two fights. Conor McGregorâ€™s career timeline The boy who once started boxing to defend himself from bullies today rules the world of MMA. Here are some of the highlights of his decorated career: Began showing interest in MMA (April 2006) First MMA Fight (February 2007) First Professional MMA Fight (March 2009) UFC Debut (April 2013) Fastest UFC Knockout in Championship Match (Jose Aldo, December 2015) First simultaneous UFC double champion (Eddie Alvarez, November 2016) Professional Boxing Debut (August 2017) Conor McGregor: UFC record The later part of McGregor&#8217;s career saw him pick up quite a few losses. The UFC record of arguably the most noted figure in MMA currently stands at 22-6-0. His last win was against Donald Cerrone by TKO but sadly the fighter was in recovery after two consecutive losses against Dustin Poirier, with the latter leaving him with a fractured tibia that required surgical intervention.Â    The fighter has however independently announced his comeback, but we are still awaiting an official confirmation from the promotion he is contractually bound to. And as per his own revelation to The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani, he has only two more fights left in his contract. He has further made it abundantly clear that his loyalties lie with the UFC and has denied any inclination towards free agency or otherwise.Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s next fight â€“ Who are the possible opponents for the UFC Star Most UFC fans are aware of the fact that &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; had his last octagon outing at UFC 264. After his gruesome shinbone injury in the bout against Dustin Poirier, McGregor was sidelined for an unprecedented amount of time. There were a lot of talks about 2023 being the year of his return. Several fans had also expected the same when McGregor was elected as one of the coaches for &#8216;The Ultimate Fighter&#8217; this year. As per the ritual, the two TUF coaches, McGregor and Michael Chandler were also pitted against each other for a bout that would also mark McGregor&#8217;s return to the octagon. But with &#8216;The Irishman&#8217; failing his USADA testing pool deadline, the entire bout is currently in jeopardy. McGregor and Chandler were scheduled to compete at the last PPV of 2023. Nonetheless, now that he is back at the testing pool, it seems that 2024 is really the year.Â Earlier, the UFC president Dana White sounded pretty keen to make this bout happen when he talked about exempting McGregor from the USADA. McGregor&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve announcement which he deemed himself as &#8220;The Greatest Comeback in Sports History,&#8221;Â has only added to the excitement of his fans. The only update we have so far is that on June 29th, 2024, &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; will be facing Michael Chandler and at a weight neither has ventured yet- 185 Lbs. Regardless, the UFC or head honcho Dana White is yet to provide any confirmation on the ordeal, and so far, no contracts have been signed. Given the lack of sufficient confirmation, Chandler has been outspoken about getting restless, and that he is not worried about fighting at a different weight.Â But, in an unpredictable sport like MMA, we will still have to wait and watch who exactly McGregor fights next. Conor McGregorâ€™s businesses and endorsements &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; is easily among the wealthiest mixed martial artists. He has huge endorsement deals and tie-ups with Monster Energy, Reebok, Beats Electronics, Burger King, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Budweiser. Additionally, McGregor has his clothing line, August McGregor, and his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve. McGregor set foot into the spirits industry in September 2018 with his Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. Initially, McGregor launched the product in the US and Ireland only. However, the success of the product had McGregor expressing his wishes to restock in the US and Ireland. via Getty McGregor also intended to introduce his whiskey into the markets of the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Canada in 2019. However, in 2021 it was reported that McGregor and his partners had sold their shares of Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey to &#8216;Proximo Siprits&#8217; for a hefty $600M.

They have several outlets in some of the noted cities of this world. However, McGregor&#8217;s Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin was subjected to an attack from criminals on 12 January 2022. The hooligans threw petrol bombs targeting the pub. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. McGregor also promised a cash reward to anyone identifying the criminals Conor McGregorâ€™s UFC careerÂ  McGregor made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. The Irishman made waves in the European MMA scene and finally found himself in Britain&#8217;s biggest promotion, The Cage Warriors. There he set up an 8 fight winning streak. In the same time frame, he became the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight double champion, the first European to do so. McGregor&#8217;s journey in the UFC is nothing but a fairy tale. He finished Marcus Brimage via knockout in his debut in 2013. After defeating the famed Max Holloway in his second bout, McGregor became a household name even to the UFC audience. His further wins against Dustin Poirier and Dennis Siver made sure that his demand to fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship was answered positively. But McGregor had to take on the Interim Featherweight Champion, Chad Mendes, before his title bout against the then-injured Featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo. McGregor got the better of Mendes with a TKO in a neck-to-neck battle in UFC 189. He crowned himself the Interim Featherweight Champion, further justifying his Featherweight title shot. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; finally had his much-awaited Featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Most UFC fans would agree that McGregor delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of the UFC that night. He knocked out the fan-favorite, Aldo, in just 13 seconds of the bout claiming his UFC Featherweight title. McGregor had his first UFC loss against the coveted Nate Diaz at UFC 196 when he decided to move up to the Welterweight division. Diaz landed a few clean strikes in the second round of the bout which made McGregor shoot for a double leg. However, the &#8216;Stockton Gangster&#8217; used his superb BJJ skills to transition it to a rear-naked choke and submitted McGregor at the 4:12 mark of the second round. But during their rematch at UFC 202, McGregor avenged his defeat. Post that, he also earned the lightweight belt by defeating then-champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. But McGregor couldn&#8217;t defend his Featherweight title successfully even once as he was stripped of it on 26 November 2016. The UFC authorities blamed it on his inactivity and announced that he had vacated the title himself. However, McGregor&#8217;s associates said that he was stripped. Conor McGregor&#8217;s Fight Against Floyd Mayweather Jr. McGregor&#8217;s fame in the UFC had him venturing out into other avenues as well. In June 2017, a boxing bout between McGregor and the coveted undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, was announced. The bout was expected to be the most cost-involved boxing matchup at that time. The earnings of Mayweather from the bout stood at a whopping $280M while &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; also earned a lump sum amount of $130M. via Getty However, McGregor didn&#8217;t quite have the outcome of his choice, as he was knocked out by Mayweather in the tenth round of the bout. But this bout earned him a lot of respect from the boxing community. Conor McGregorâ€™s Graphic Injury at UFC 264 Conor McGregor in his third fight against rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, had an immensely toxic buildup to the fight. One reason for the toxicity between the two is an unpaid charity pledge, which McGregor promised in their second fight at UFC 257.Â  Leading up to their fight at UFC 264, both McGregor and Poirier had one win over each other, and their fight at UFC 264 was supposed to be the tiebreaker. Ironically enough, this didnâ€™t seem to be the case, as the fight ended prematurely, with McGregor snapping his leg near the end of the very first round.Â  This led to Dustin Poirier Being termed the winner of the fight via Doctorâ€™s Stoppage. The injury has kept him out of action for over two years. However, the Irishman is finally aiming for a return in 2024. Despite the injury, McGregor has kept himself busy focusing on his outside of fighting.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s major achievements and awards Interim UFC Featherweight Championship against Chad Mendes at UFC 189, 2015 UFC Featherweight Championship against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 UFC Lightweight Championship against Eddie Alvarez via TKO, UFC 205, 2016 Fight of the Night (Two times) vs. Nate Diaz (x2) First Irish-born UFC champion Third Multi-Divisional Champion in UFC History (Featherweight, Lightweight) First simultaneous multi-divisional champion in UFC history (Featherweight, Lightweight) Fastest win in a UFC Championship fight (13 seconds) vs. JosÃ© Aldo Conor McGregor&#8217;s charity works Leaving aside the controversies, McGregor has done a lot of charity work for his community. He donated $1 million to first responders following the success of his whiskey brand. Moreover, McGregor also gave away 50,000 to help the homeless people of Ireland. In May 2020, McGregor donated 1.3 million worth of PPE to Irish hospitals to fight the battle against Coronavirus. Additionally, McGregor has inspired several fans including a disabled man to turn their lives around. In April 2021, McGregor donated $500,000 to The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana. The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana is involved in the growth and care of children from vulnerable houses and communities. Conor McGregorâ€™s shoe deal Mystic Mac teamed up with Reebok as a new addition to their brand campaign for their Zig Kinetica sneaker in 2020. The fighter also appeared in a commercial entering a room laden with toys here and there, eventually morphing into one of them by harnessing the power of the shoes and defeating the rogue toys. The tagline appears- â€˜sport the unexpected.â€™Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s house The UFC fighter, a family man, owns several houses, all worthy of a king. One is of course in his homeland, wherein he spent two million Euros for the lush The Paddocks near Straffan. The property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and even a games room. Apart from that it faces River Liffey and even has a horse riding establishment.Â  He also owns a luxe property in Marbella, which is his holiday abode that came at a price of nearly 1.3 million Euros. A modern house that has been customized to the fighterâ€™s needs, it also offers picturesque views of the Mediterranean, only a doorstep away from the La Resina Golf Course. And of course, how can â€˜The Notoriousâ€™ skip the Sin City! The Mac Mansion sits only minutes away from the Vegas Strip, with seven bedrooms, a 50ft luxury pool, as well as its very own golf course.Â  And to nobodyâ€™s surprise, all his properties have customized gyms, and spas, that make sure McGregor can train anywhere he is.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s knockouts Hereâ€™s a list of McGregorâ€™s knockouts, starting from his latest win-Â  Against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, 2020 Against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, 2016 Against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 Against Chad Mendes, UFC 189, 2015 Against Dennis Siver, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Silver, 2015 Against Dustin Poirier, UFC 178, 2014 Against Diego Brandao, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao, 2014 Against Marcus Brimage, UFC on FUEL TV: Mousasi vs Latifi, 2014 How to contact Conor McGregor?

Sean O'Malley, aka 'Sugar', is one of the most skilled up-and-coming UFC fighters of this generation. The rainbow-haired UFC phenomenon captured the Bantamweight Championship Title in August of 2023 against Aljamain Sterling

The rising UFC superstar had also dipped his toes in other combat sports before becoming a full-time mixed martial artist.

Born in Helena, Montana, on October 24, 1994, O'Malley grew up in a family that encouraged athletic pursuits. While still a teenager, O'Malley discovered the world of mixed martial arts. It is not news that Suga is good at what he does.

As per his own account, <em>"I remember when I was 16 years old, I just went and started kickboxing, boxing and just kind of sparring. And just kind of had this natural ability and I think some people are truly born knowing how to fight, and I found that and I became obsessed with it." </em>Certainly, O'Malley's early life laid the groundwork for his future success in the UFC.

Danya is a businesswoman herself, holds a degree in cosmetology, and even is a professional hairstylist.Â Their relationship has been a prominent part of his life, providing support and stability as he has navigated his successful MMA career.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tony Ferguson Net Worth 2024, Record, Wife, Height, &amp; More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Tony Ferguson?Â </strong></h2>
The famed 'Boogeyman' of the UFC, Tony Ferguson, has been the fighter to watch out for over a decade and has grown by leaps and bounds in his journey. The former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion has now transitioned to the welterweight division and is trying to achieve success there. Over the years, Ferguson has developed a style difficult to beat, and he has destroyed his opponents. His high pace and pressure make it difficult for opponents to catch up with him. He is the most unorthodox and unpredictable fighter in the UFC.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Fergusonâ€™s Early LifeÂ </strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Ferguson was born in the Californian city of Oxnard. However, his stay there was pretty brief, as his family relocated to Muskegon, Michigan, where he spent most of his childhood. Despite carrying mixed American and Mexican roots, 'El Cucuy' often recognizes himself as a true American because of his birth and growing up in the US. Notably, the fighter's mother, Mary Padilla, has American roots, while his biological had Mexican roots. He carries the surname Ferguson because of his Scottish-American stepfather, Armand Ferguson.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Ferguson showcased his prowess in sports right from his adolescence days. He joined the Muskegon Catholic Central High School, where he became a three-sport athlete competing in football, baseball, and wrestling. He served as a starting defensive back for the Division 8 state football champions of the year 2000. Ferguson also didn't fail to showcase his mettle in wrestling. He went on to become a three-time All-State selection, bagging the championship of the 152-lb division in 2002.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Ferguson had a failed attempt at completing his college degree. He enrolled in three colleges, Central Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, and Muskegon Community College, but dropped out from each of them before completing his due course for a degree. However, he had a fruitful collegiate wrestling career, as he conquered the 165-pound division of the National Wrestling Championship in 2006, organized by the National Collegiate Wrestling Association.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Post college, 'the Boogeyman of the UFC' experienced a pretty ordinary life. He moved back to California and started working as a marketing and sales executive during the day and as a bartender at night. However, it was this stint as a bartender that eventually propelled him to get into MMA.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">One night, while Ferguson was at his bartending desk, one of his patrons noticed his cauliflower ear and struck up a conversation about how he got it. Eventually, he got to know about the '39-year-old's' wrestling background. The person was an MMA trainer himself. Also, he is the actual one who got 'El Cucuy' into MMA initially, by inviting him to train in his gym alongside a few other young athletes.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Reportedly, Ferguson got instantly hooked on the sport after his training and even decided to go for a professional career in MMA. Most fans might agree it was the bar conversation about Ferguson's cauliflower ear which propelled him toward becoming one of the biggest names in MMA today.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Fergusonâ€™s Wife and Children</strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">The name of Ferguson's wife is Christina Servin Ferguson. They reportedly tied the know in 2012 and have two kids together. The few reports available about her also suggest that she attended California State University during her collegiate years. It was on April 28, 2016, that Tony and Christina welcomed their eldest son, Armand Anthony, into the world while their younger son was born on May 31, 2021, and they named him Angel Anthony.</p>
Â Notably, the couple hit a rough patch in 2019 as Christina filed a restraining order against her husband and the two got indulged in a legal battle. She claimed that the fighter was going through some issues since 2017 and it was important for him to receive help to emerge as a better version of himself. However, things now seem sorted between the two.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Fergusonâ€™s Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Being one of the most experienced active fighters on the UFC roster, 'El Cucuy' draws a massive number of fans to his bouts. Hence, the UFC provides him with quite remarkable amounts when it comes to his payment, although a large chunk of fans have called him one of the most underpaid UFC fighters. As per the latest reports, Ferguson currently boasts a net worth of about $3.5M.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Like all other UFC fighters, Ferguson also received his UFC salary per fight. It also may vary from one fight to another. The California native received the biggest fight purse of his entire career for his UFC 249 bout against the current 'BMF' contender of the UFC, Justin 'The Highlight' Gaethje as he took home $955,000.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Fergusonâ€™s Career Timeline</strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">After a healthy period of training, Ferguson finally began his professional MMA career in 2007. Initially, he fought for a few small Californian promotions named California Xtreme Fighting, Total Fighting Alliance, and a few others. He also amassed a remarkable record of 12-2 which created his pathway to the thirteenth season of the UFC's noted fighting-based reality show, 'The Ultimate Fighter'.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">He made his entry into the show as a part of the noted former UFC Heavyweight champ and WWE star, Brock Lesnar's team. 'The Californian' showcased some superb in-octagon skills to ramp up two consecutive victories and advance to the finals. Hence, 'El Cucuy' made his UFC debut on 4 June 2011, for the final of 'The Ultimate Fighter' against Ramsey Nijem. Ferguson went on to finish his opponent in the first round of his UFC debut bout via KO, earning the 'Knockout of the Night' bonus and announcing his arrival to the UFC in grand style.</p>

Before his fight with <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/justin-gaethje/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Justin Gaethje</a>, Ferguson was on a twelve-fight win streak.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">He attempted to capture the interim title again, but 'The Highlight' stopped him in his tracks. Since then, Ferguson has been on an all-time low in his career, losing out his last seven fights consecutively to a few noted UFC names like <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-chandler/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Michael Chandler</a>Â andÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-oliveira/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Charles Oliveira</a>.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Fergusonâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</strong></h2>
According to Ferguson, he did not get many sponsorships with his previous management company, Paradigm Sports. This led him to switch to Ballengee Group. With a new team, Ferguson announced sponsorship deals from companies like RDX Sports, Monster, and Reebok.

Tony Ferguson

Tony Ferguson Net Worth 2024, Record, Wife, Height, &amp; More Who is Tony Ferguson?Â  The famed &#8216;Boogeyman&#8217; of the UFC, Tony Ferguson, has been the fighter to watch out for over a decade and has grown by leaps and bounds in his journey. The former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion has now transitioned to the welterweight division and is trying to achieve success there. Over the years, Ferguson has developed a style difficult to beat, and he has destroyed his opponents. His high pace and pressure make it difficult for opponents to catch up with him. He is the most unorthodox and unpredictable fighter in the UFC. Tony Fergusonâ€™s Early LifeÂ  Ferguson was born in the Californian city of Oxnard. However, his stay there was pretty brief, as his family relocated to Muskegon, Michigan, where he spent most of his childhood. Despite carrying mixed American and Mexican roots, &#8216;El Cucuy&#8217; often recognizes himself as a true American because of his birth and growing up in the US. Notably, the fighter&#8217;s mother, Mary Padilla, has American roots, while his biological had Mexican roots. He carries the surname Ferguson because of his Scottish-American stepfather, Armand Ferguson. Ferguson showcased his prowess in sports right from his adolescence days. He joined the Muskegon Catholic Central High School, where he became a three-sport athlete competing in football, baseball, and wrestling. He served as a starting defensive back for the Division 8 state football champions of the year 2000. Ferguson also didn&#8217;t fail to showcase his mettle in wrestling. He went on to become a three-time All-State selection, bagging the championship of the 152-lb division in 2002. Ferguson had a failed attempt at completing his college degree. He enrolled in three colleges, Central Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, and Muskegon Community College, but dropped out from each of them before completing his due course for a degree. However, he had a fruitful collegiate wrestling career, as he conquered the 165-pound division of the National Wrestling Championship in 2006, organized by the National Collegiate Wrestling Association. Post college, &#8216;the Boogeyman of the UFC&#8217; experienced a pretty ordinary life. He moved back to California and started working as a marketing and sales executive during the day and as a bartender at night. However, it was this stint as a bartender that eventually propelled him to get into MMA. One night, while Ferguson was at his bartending desk, one of his patrons noticed his cauliflower ear and struck up a conversation about how he got it. Eventually, he got to know about the &#8217;39-year-old&#8217;s&#8217; wrestling background. The person was an MMA trainer himself. Also, he is the actual one who got &#8216;El Cucuy&#8217; into MMA initially, by inviting him to train in his gym alongside a few other young athletes. Reportedly, Ferguson got instantly hooked on the sport after his training and even decided to go for a professional career in MMA. Most fans might agree it was the bar conversation about Ferguson&#8217;s cauliflower ear which propelled him toward becoming one of the biggest names in MMA today. Tony Fergusonâ€™s Wife and Children The name of Ferguson&#8217;s wife is Christina Servin Ferguson. They reportedly tied the know in 2012 and have two kids together. The few reports available about her also suggest that she attended California State University during her collegiate years. It was on April 28, 2016, that Tony and Christina welcomed their eldest son, Armand Anthony, into the world while their younger son was born on May 31, 2021, and they named him Angel Anthony. Â Notably, the couple hit a rough patch in 2019 as Christina filed a restraining order against her husband and the two got indulged in a legal battle. She claimed that the fighter was going through some issues since 2017 and it was important for him to receive help to emerge as a better version of himself. However, things now seem sorted between the two. Tony Fergusonâ€™s Net Worth 2024 Being one of the most experienced active fighters on the UFC roster, &#8216;El Cucuy&#8217; draws a massive number of fans to his bouts. Hence, the UFC provides him with quite remarkable amounts when it comes to his payment, although a large chunk of fans have called him one of the most underpaid UFC fighters. As per the latest reports, Ferguson currently boasts a net worth of about $3.5M. Like all other UFC fighters, Ferguson also received his UFC salary per fight. It also may vary from one fight to another. The California native received the biggest fight purse of his entire career for his UFC 249 bout against the current &#8216;BMF&#8217; contender of the UFC, Justin &#8216;The Highlight&#8217; Gaethje as he took home $955,000. Tony Fergusonâ€™s Career Timeline After a healthy period of training, Ferguson finally began his professional MMA career in 2007. Initially, he fought for a few small Californian promotions named California Xtreme Fighting, Total Fighting Alliance, and a few others. He also amassed a remarkable record of 12-2 which created his pathway to the thirteenth season of the UFC&#8217;s noted fighting-based reality show, &#8216;The Ultimate Fighter&#8217;. He made his entry into the show as a part of the noted former UFC Heavyweight champ and WWE star, Brock Lesnar&#8217;s team. &#8216;The Californian&#8217; showcased some superb in-octagon skills to ramp up two consecutive victories and advance to the finals. Hence, &#8216;El Cucuy&#8217; made his UFC debut on 4 June 2011, for the final of &#8216;The Ultimate Fighter&#8217; against Ramsey Nijem. Ferguson went on to finish his opponent in the first round of his UFC debut bout via KO, earning the &#8216;Knockout of the Night&#8217; bonus and announcing his arrival to the UFC in grand style. Brock Lesnar and Tony Ferguson | Credits: Imago He defeated Kevin Lee to become the interim- lightweight champion of the UFC. However, he was later stripped of the title because of a gruesome injury. Despite this, fans refer to him as the People&#8217;s Champion. Before his fight with Justin Gaethje, Ferguson was on a twelve-fight win streak. He attempted to capture the interim title again, but &#8216;The Highlight&#8217; stopped him in his tracks. Since then, Ferguson has been on an all-time low in his career, losing out his last seven fights consecutively to a few noted UFC names like Michael ChandlerÂ andÂ Charles Oliveira. He scored a submission defeat against &#8216;Stockton Gangster&#8217;, Nate Diaz at UFC 279 and followed it up with two more losses against King Green and Paddy Pimblett via submission and decision respectively. Tony Fergusonâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements According to Ferguson, he did not get many sponsorships with his previous management company, Paradigm Sports. This led him to switch to Ballengee Group. With a new team, Ferguson announced sponsorship deals from companies like RDX Sports, Monster, and Reebok. Tony Fergusonâ€™s Career Stats and Record Tony Ferguson has a Pro MMA record of 25-10-0. He has 11 KO/TKO wins, 9 submission victories, and 5 decision wins to his name. As far as the UFC is concerned, the 40-year-old has won 15 fights in the promotion while losing eight games. Tony Fergusonâ€™s Major Achievements and Awards Looking at the huge fame and prolonged career span of Ferguson, it&#8217;s quite understandable that he must have won several MMA accolades. Well, here&#8217;s a list of the distinguished accomplishments of &#8216;El Cucuy&#8217;s&#8217; prolonged career in MMA. Amateur wrestling National Collegiate Wrestling Association NCWA National Champion (2006) NCWA All-American (2006, 2007) North Central Conference Champion (2006, 2007) Michigan High School Athletic Association MHSAA Division IV State Champion (2002) MHSAA Division IV All-State (2000-2002) MMA Fight of the Night (Six times) Knockout of the Night (One time) Submission of the Night (One time) Performance of the Night (Three times)Â  Tied (Khabib Nurmagomedov) for the second-longest win streak in UFC Lightweight division history The Ultimate Fighter 13 winner Tony Fergusonâ€™s Charity and Foundation Tony Ferguson doesn&#8217;t shy away from helping those in need and one of the best examples of the same came in December 2020 as a video uploaded by UFC&#8217;s official YouTube channel saw Ferguson joining hands with Kevin Holland.
