Conor McGregor is celebrating 10 years since his UFC debut this week but his first-ever opponent took an entirely different route.
McGregor is well on his way to join the short list of Irish billionaires as he conquered the UFC world and became the sport's biggest star, winning two titles in his time.
The Dubliner will return to action later this year against Michael Chandler but is not short of cash having sold his whiskey business for a nine-figure sum and has a number of different business interests including owning multiple pubs and his own stout.
