Conor McGregor is the biggest name in mixed martial arts today. He is credited with taking the sport to the next level when it comes to popularity. The masses love him, and he brings in the views and the big bucks for the UFC.
McGregor is a former two-division UFC champion and has some huge wins to his name. The Irishman, thanks to his popularity, became the highest-paid athlete in 2021.
One aspect of his personality is to not hold back ever. He always speaks his mind and is also one of the best trash talkers in the game. That personality of his even shows on social media, but sometimes he comes up with the most random things.
