Conor McGregor was delighted to learn from a 'Media Maps' graph that he has been deemed the most famous Irish person in the nation's history.
The legendary former UFC champion had his first fight in MMA's top promotion less than a decade ago, but within less than four years had made history as the first ever simultaneous two-weight world champion in the sport. In the process, he became a multi-millionaire, and launched a career the likes of which hadn't been seen before in MMA.
And according to a map posted on social media which shows the most famous individual from each country throughout history, McGregor is the best known person from his home country of Ireland. That would place him ahead of the likes of U2 frontman Bono, poets such as WB Yeats and James Joyce, playwright Oscar Wilde.
