Things were unfortunately not as easy as he thought it was going to be and this 25-year old goal eventually took a little longer. McGregor is a lover of confrontation and has remained determined in his pursuit of success.

Conor McGregor was born with his fists clenched! This is no joke as his father has attested to this fact severally that his son was indeed a born fighter.

This article would take you into the lives of the other McGregors and his love story.
Who are Conor McGregor’s parents?
Tony McGregor (father)
Tony McGregor was born to an Irish father who worked for the Navy and an English mum. His father was always away at sea because of the nature of his job and this placed so much pressure on their marriage so that by the time Tony was eight, his mother Patricia was moving on with someone else. After she left, they never saw her again.
McGregor and his siblings continued living with their father and he soon started a Tech school. When Tony was fifteen, he met Margaret and she was damn beautiful. In fact, the UFC Champion’s father has said it was her looks that attracted him. She was pretty then and she still is. A year later, they both landed jobs at a local factory and their romance sparkled. In 1980, by the time they were 21, the lovers got married.
Papa McGregor soon became a working-class family man and he never went to school or college. For 26 years, he worked as a night driver so during the day, he was privileged to be a part of his kid’s lives. He got to spend a lot of time with his children and noticed quite early that his son really enjoyed fighting.
Tony did not approve of Conor’s choice of career initially; he could not see how his son would make a living from such sport. He eventually gave in to his son’s desires when he saw how visionary and disciplined he was. Tony is glad today that he survived testicular cancer and has seen his son’s dream come true. Since the arrival of Conor’s baby, both parents and grandparents have been over the moon and are glad everyone is healthy.
Margaret McGregor (mother)
‘The Notorious’ returned home from school one day and asked his parents why they had put him in soccer all these while? The McGregor parents were not quite surprised because they had seen signs that their boy loved to fight. Till date, Margaret cannot bear to watch her son in the ring just because she doesn’t want to see him hurt. She got to be okay with it since it was what he wanted to do and she gave him her full support even before he became the world-class champion he is today. Tony refers to his wife as the backbone of their family and she is the reason why the UFC fighter is very generous.
