Conor McGregor is getting set to return to the Octagon, for the first time in approximately a year, and the UFC’s marketing machine is kicking into overdrive as a result. Case in point, recently the promotion posted the Irish star’s top moments, as he rose up the Cage Warrior’s ranks.
When the now 32-year-old fighter arrived in the UFC in 2013, he did so with a lot of hype amongst hardcore fans. That’s because, during his time with Europe’s Cage Warriors, McGregor won both the featherweight and lightweight titles.
As you surely know, he proceeded to do the same with the UFC.
Ahead of McGregor’s rematch with Dustin Poirier at UFC 257, you can check out some of his top moments with Cage Warriors below.
