Conor McGregor transformed MMA from a niche sport into a global phenomenon. His left hand ended Jose Aldo's decade of dominance in 13 seconds; his mouth made him the biggest pay-per-view draw in combat sports history. The Dublin plumber became a two-division UFC champion and earned a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather that generated over $500 million. He talked trash with Irish wit and backed it up with precision striking that few could handle. Injuries and losses have dimmed his shine in recent years, but at his peak, McGregor wasn't just winning fights - he was changing the business of combat sports forever. "The Notorious" made every fight an event.
