Conor McGregor record: Weight, height and reach, professional career stats, next bout and more

Conor McGregor is yet to return to UFC over two years after breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier, but he’s still one of the biggest sportspeople on the planet.

The Irishman boasts an excellent record and his unique character has seen him attract millions of fans.

‘Notrorious’ is now fully fit and is eyeing up a comeback fight against Michael Chandler in early 2024, with that deal all but done.

And he will be hoping to secure another major win to get his UFC career underway again.

Conor McGregor: Debut and who he has fought

McGregor made his debut at Cage of Truth 2 in March 2008, beating Gary Morris in Dublin inside the first ten seconds.

His first defeat came just two fights later when Artemij Sitenkov made him submit.

He recovered with two wins but lost again in November 2010, being choked out by Joseph Duffy at Cage Warriors 39: The Uprising in Cork.

McGregor then began his domination of the sport, chalking up 15 straight wins, including adding the Cage Warriors lightweight belt to his featherweight strap in 2012.  It wasn’t look before he made his UFC debut against Marcus Brimage in April 2013.

His win over Chad Mendes at UFC 189 saw him claim the UFC featherweight title and he followed that up with his infamous 13-second victory over Jose Aldo in December 2015.

Next came his incredible battles with Nate Diaz. He lost their first meeting before gaining revenge at UFC 202 in two of the greatest bouts we ever seen.

He then beat Eddie Alvarez in November 2016 at UFC 205 to become both the featherweight and lightweight champion.

He then suffered a damaging defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov.

McGregor then beat Donald Cerrone, two years later before losing back-to-back bouts against Poirier.

And in the second fight, the Irishman broke his leg, and he hasn’t fought since.

Conor McGregor: Wins, losses and professional record

Of the 28 fights he has faced, McGregor has won 22 of them and lost on six occasions.

He has claimed 19 victories by way of knockout with one submission win and two by decision.

Four of his pro defeats have come by the way of submission, and he’s been knocked out twice.

Conor McGregor: Weight, height and reach

McGregor’s weight depends on what division he is fighting in.

He scaled in at 70kg for his lightweight defeat to Nurmagomedov but he has also fought at featherweight (65kg) and welterweight (77kg).

The 35-year-old, who is left handed and primarily fights out of the southpaw stance, is 5ft 9in (175cm) and has a reach of 74in (188cm).

McGregor is known mostly for his dangerous strike power and often prefers to fight standing up.

Conor McGregor: Next fight and future opponents

McGregor is eyeing a return UFC early next year to on Chandler.

However, until we get a confirmed date, it’s a fluid situation and we might have to wait a bit longer for McGregor’s return.

Hopefully, everything goes to plan and we get to see the Irishman in action against Chandler.
