Inside McGregor's Notorious lifestyle
With more sides to his personality than an Octagon, Conor McGregor's rise has been an enthralling watch.
Going from UFC icon to entrepreneur and Hollywood star, the Irishman has transcended the sport he helped bring to the masses.
He has four children with fiancee Dee Devlin and the family enjoy a lavish lifestyle.
McGregor has not fought in UFC since breaking his leg in a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021.
That has not stopped him amassing a net worth of over £150m thanks to his Proper No Twelve whiskey and fashion line.
And he is due to return to the Octagon at UFC 303 in an eagerly-awaited headline clash with Michael Chandler.
McGregor also starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the Amazon Prime remake of classic movie Road House, although he is dreading his mum seeing one X-rated scene.
Notorious turned up to the premiere in a £60,000 suit that was outdone by his £460k watch.
The only thing sharper than his fashion sense is his tongue and the Dubliner has several bitter spats under his belt, including with UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.
That row led to one of his biggest controversies in 2018 as he travelled 3,000 miles to confront Khabib in a vicious attack on his bus.
He pleaded guilty to assault after punching a man in a pub in 2018 and had his £150k Bentley seized by police for driving offences four years later.
Joe Rogan lashed out at McGregor in a four-letter outburst and the Irishman has also fired shots at Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury.
Boxing great Floyd Mayweather also has McGregor on his enemy list after the pair clashed in a cross-sport bout in 2017.

But his comeback clash with Michael Chandler was cancelled after he suffered a broken left pinky toe in one of his final sparring sessions before jetting out to Sin City.
The UFC’s first-ever simultaneous two-weight world champion was left devastated by his withdrawal from his comeback clash.
He told SevereMMA: “August, September, I’d love [that]. I’m in recovery mode.
“It’s three weeks to the day, it happened three weeks ago today. I’m still here rocking around in the slippers.
“They’re not bad slippers, thankfully and they’re cosy enough but I can’t get into a shoe yet.
“They put stem cells in my foot.
“They came and took it from the back and put it in my foot, 20 mg of stem cells out of my own back, from the bone marrow in and right into the break.
“My f***ing toe is sore and I don’t know if the stem cells into the break was the right move.
“Because you know the way chicks put the filler in their face: my f***ing baby toe looks like that.
“I don’t think it’s the swelling anymore. I think it’s just the stem cells in my toe.”
