Conor McGregor: Net worth 2024

There's barely any UFC fan who is not familiar with the name Conor McGregor. 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't limit itself financially and awarded McGregor lucrative contracts.

'The Notorious' 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, 'Conor McGregor's net worth' stands at a whopping $200M by the end of the year 2023.

McGregor also receives his salary per fight, like every other UFC fighter. 'The Notorious' 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's total earnings from both bouts were exactly the same. 'Mystic Mac' pocketed an insane $5,011,000 for each of the two fights.

Conor McGregor next fight - who are the possible opponents for the UFC star

Most UFC fans are aware of the fact that 'The Notorious' 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 'The Ultimate Fighter' 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's return to the octagon. But with 'The Irishman' 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. Earlier, the UFC president Dana White sounded pretty keen to make this bout happen when he talked about exempting McGregor from the USADA.

McGregor's New Year's Eve announcement which he himself deemed as "The Greatest Comeback in Sports History," has only added to the excitement of his fans. The only update we have so far is that on June 29th, 2024, 'Mystic Mac' 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. But, in an unpredictable sport like MMA, we will still have to wait and watch who exactly McGregor fights next.

Conor McGregor's Early Life

McGregor was born in the year 1988 to Margaret and Tony McGregor in the capital city of Ireland, Dublin. 'Mystic Mac' attended Irish language schools for his education. He completed his primary schooling at Gaelscoil Scoil Mologa, in Harold's Cross. He also got admitted to  Gaelcholáiste Coláiste de hÍde 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's Professional MMA Career

McGregor then made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. The Irishman made waves in the European MMA scene and finally found himself in Britain'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'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, prior to 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.

'The Notorious' 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 'Stockton Gangster' 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'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's associates said that he was stripped.

For the better part of his career, McGregor has used a karate stance but switched to a boxing-style approach in his last two losses against Dustin Poirier. He was also surprisingly flat-footed in his grudge match against Khabib Nurmagomedov, however, that may have been owing to a foot injury.
