1. He's a complete showman
When young Conor joined MMA it was not even considered as a sport , but that didn't stop him because he was aware of his passion. Infact Conor solely became the reason of not just liberating the sport but also taking it to great heights.
Ofcourse doing this was not easy for him but he lost his mind the process and completely dedicated himself to the training and sport. He started his UFC career with a pay of $60,000 (only if he won a fight) and now he has a minimum wage of $3M (per fight). Yes, he did some extraordinary things to reach to this level and make MMA a worldwide recognized sport. Like he was the first person in the history of mixed martial arts to become the champion in two different weight categories ( Flyweight and Lightweight ) at the same time. That's why he is called The Champ Champ.

It's because of these reasons tha he's Dana White's favourite and the most famous and highest paid Athletes. These are also the same reasons because of which he's hated by some. But he truly deserves all the success that he achieved. He also made his country_IRELAND proud.

5. Prediction
Here comes the interesting part. He has a scheduled UFC fight exactly 2 months from now, on July 10. This fight will be the last of the trilogy fights between Conor Mcgregor and a great fighter Dustin "The Diamond" Porier. So far both of the fighters have won one one fight , this fight will act as a tiebreaker.
According to me here's how the fight will proceed. Conor will come with a wide stance and things will start off with Conor's shin kick to Dustin's calf. Then there will be a devastating exchange of punches between these two in which Conor will take a serious blow by the hands of Dustin. Keeping in mind that both the fighters are in great shape, I think that Dustin will go for a coupe of takedowns ,but will succeed in only one , that too near the end of the round. In this fight Conor will use more of his legs to maintain distance and then either of the two things will happen...
i) Either Conor will land a kick on Dustin's head which will do a lot of damage then he'll make use of his reach and land a left and right combination knocking Dustin out.(Probablity: 20%)
ii) Or, Conor will throw him off balance with a straight kick to the gut, then charge on him with hammer fists and then the refree will stop the fight , leaving Mcgregor victorious. (Probability: 80%)
