In 2008, McGregor started his MMA career and, in 2012, he won both the Cage
Warriors Featherweight and Lightweight Championships, holding both titles
simultaneously before vacating them to sign with the UFC.[10] In 2015, at UFC 194,
he defeated Jos Aldo for the UFC Featherweight Championship via knockout thirteen
seconds into the first round. This was the fastest victory in UFC title fight
history.[11] Upon defeating Eddie Alvarez for the UFC Lightweight Championship at
UFC 205, McGregor became the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two
weight divisions simultaneously.[12]

McGregor has established himself as the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) draw in MMA
history as he has main-evented four out of the six highest selling pay-per-view
events in UFC history.[13] His headline bout with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 garnered the
most buys ever for an MMA PPV event.[14]

McGregor began his professional boxing career in 2017. In his debut boxing match,
he was defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr. via TKO.[15]
