Love him or hate him, it’s nearly impossible to argue with McGregor’s credentials, especially with his rise to stardom where he became UFC featherweight champion with a stunning first-round knockout over Jose Aldo and then he dispatched Eddie Alvarez is dominant fashion to claim gold at 155 pounds.
McGregor’s win over Aldo also put him on top for the fastest knockout in UFC title fight history after he finished the fight in just 13 seconds when they met back in 2015.
McGregor posted a clip of McGregor singing his Coolio version “Gangsta’s Paradise” as part of his profile.
“Who was the levels and the flow l have,” McGregor said. McGregor said, “No one knows who.” It’s the wall of no fame that ya can call until I jump in and make it my own. I’m Coolio, or .”
as they refer to me.

McGregor is also the UFC’s biggest box-office draw, by far. He has also managed to accumulate some of the highest-grossing pay-per view campaigns in combat sports. Both of his fights against Nate Diaz did blockbuster numbers and he shattered the all-time record for PPV sales in the UFC with his showdown with Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018.
McGregor posted Proper No. his whiskey brand to the UFC Hall of Fame thread. 12 as a sponsor for the recent event where Nurmagomedov was inducted as part of the class of 2022.
With that, McGregor also posted a reminder about the post-fight brawl that broke out after he faced Nurmagomedov at UFC 229.
Bang for shite from them all. That will go in the halls of fame. pic.twitter.com/CxVNdMv3Fd

Lately, McGregor has endured more downs than ups after falling to 1-3 in his last four fights including back-to-back losses to Dustin Poirier. McGregor broke his leg in the last fight. He has been out of action since then.
Obviously, McGregor looks to correct course when he makes his return with current plans targeting a fight in late 2022 or early 2023 following rehabilitation and recovery from the leg injury.
McGregor has not yet been scheduled for a fight, but Charles Oliveira, the former UFC lightweight champion has stated that he will be fighting McGregor next regardless of whether a title is at stake.
