Back in November, Conor McGregor delivered a second round knockout of Eddie Alvarez, becoming the UFC lightweight champion in the process. Given that he still owned the promotion’s featherweight title at the time, this made him the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two weight classes concurrently. With this accomplishment, McGregor’s stock rose higher than ever. Despite the new and unprecedented heights of his stardom after his knockout of Alvarez, McGregor followed this win with the news that he’d be taking some time away from the sport. The reason, he announced, was that he was expecting his first child with long-time girlfriend Dee Devlin.
