Conor McGregor, widely regarded as the most controversial figure in MMA, continues to dominate headlines despite being absent from competition for three years. The former UFC champion often finds himself in the spotlight, sometimes for reasons beyond the sport. ‘The Notorious’ is a true businessman and has tried different ventures outside fighting and now plans to extend it to a new direction.Â
Conor McGregor recently went to social media to celebrate the win of his cousin Warren Davis’ football team in the Irish league.
