Conor McGregor was catapulted to fame and fortune when he signed for the UFC in 2013, but this was far from an overnight success story, as he’d spent years learning his craft on the regional circuit before earning his big break.
At the age of 19, McGregor dared to be different, walking away from a steady job as a plumber to pursue his dream of becoming a mixed martial arts star, informing his shocked parents that he’d be a millionaire by the time he was 25.
It seemed like a one-in-a-million shot, but though it took him a year longer than he’d anticipated, ‘The Notorious’ did indeed become a millionaire – multiple times over in fact – while becoming not only the UFC’s featherweight champion, but also the biggest star in the sport.
In this article we’ll offer you a chance to go right back to the beginning of this modern day rags-to-riches story and witness history being made, from his pro-debut in his own hometown back in 2008, right the way through to his final fight in the Cage Warriors promotion at the end of 2012 that would lead to him signing for the UFC.
