Conor McGregor News

UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor certainly possesses some of the best knockout power in the UFC. As Tristar gym head coach Firas Zahabi has explained it, McGregor has the ‘touch of death’ in his left hand. Meaning that if he touches you with his left hand, he will likely be able to put you to sleep. That power has been a major factor in predictions for a fight between McGregor and undefeated boxing icon Floyd Mayweather. While Mayweather of course is arguably the greatest boxer of all time, going undefeated throughout his entire career while displaying phenomenal defensive abilities, many believe McGregor’s power and size could present an interesting challenge for Mayweather.

What could possibly top Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather’s superfight boxing match? At this point, it doesn’t look like any fight in the UFC will get “The Notorious” the kind of money that he will be compensated for in the Mayweather bout.

There is no bigger story in combat sports today than that of a potential boxing mega fight between undefeated great Floyd Mayweather Jr. and UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. Whether it’s a cause for cautious optimism that the fight will actually happen, a reason to believe it probably won’t, a combat sports personality offering their take on who will win, or a bit of trash talk between their two camps, this ongoing narrative generates dozens of new headlines every week.

Conor McGregor is the biggest star in MMA, and arguably the biggest star in combat sports outright. It’s for this reason that he’s become the highest paid fighter in MMA history. This is also why he might just be allowed to break from his current UFC contract and battle boxing great Floyd Mayweather in the boxing ring. The latest indicator of McGregor’s incredible stardom is his inclusion in TIME Magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people on earth. McGregor, who currently holds the UFC lightweight title, made the list under the Pioneers branch, alongside names like Chance the Rapper, Jordan Peele, Yuriko Koike, Glenda Gray and Riz Ahmed. McGregor was nominated for a spot on this list by bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

UFC President Dana White said it himself, there is a ton of money to be made in the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing match. Even with the UFC lightweight champion not having a single professional boxing fight to his name going up against arguably one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport, the masses will surely tune in, if the superfight takes place.

UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor has been living it up as he has taken time off from fighting in the UFC for the birth of his first child. “The Notorious” was seen partying it up in Liverpool where he and his friends allegedly went on a five-day partying bender, according to the Irish Sun. The Irish Sun’s report stated that McGregor and his crew of friends started on Sunday at the Grand National and then later checked in at the Hilton Liverpool. The report claims that McGregor hired specialists to clean up the hotel suite after trashing the room where there was believed to be thousands of euros worth of damage, which the report says was caused by McGregor’s friends.

Last night, in the main event of UFC on Fox 24, UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson – known by the ring name “Mighty Mouse” – made a whopping 10th straight defense of his title. He did so with a third-round, arm bar induced submission defeat of BJJ blackbelt Wilson Reis – an incredible feat in its own right. With this win, Johnson tied Anderson Silva’s record for the most consecutive title defenses in UFC history, and solidified his status as the best fighter currently competing in mixed martial arts. While Johnson’s dominance has been incredibly impressive, it has also created some unique problems for the UFC’s matchmaking team. The flyweight star has bushwhacked his entire division, leaving almost nothing in the way of deserving title challengers in his wake. As such, it’s going to be a real challenge for the UFC to find a deserving opponent for his next fight.

Leading up to UFC 205, where Conor McGregor made history by securing two UFC title belts, the Irish superstar began a very heated rivalry with UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, who was also fighting on the same card. McGregor was caught on camera mean mugging Woodley behind the scenes at the UFC 205 early weigh-ins, which then sparked a Twitter feud between the two as McGregor repeatedly called the welterweight champion of the world a “bitch”. McGregor was then caught on camera once more engaging with Woodley backstage, this time being separated by security guards who attempted to keep the Irishman away from ‘The Chosen One’ as McGregor repeatedly insulted Woodley.
