Conor McGregor

Former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor says he’s been on a “spiritual journey” and has been “saved”.

The 37-year-old fighter from Ireland is preparing to enter the ring again after being suspended for 18 months for missing required drug tests. A controversial figure, McGregor has made headlines throughout his career, not just for his sporting successes but also his run-ins with the law. McGregor has faced several sexual assault allegations and has been arrested multiple times, though without criminal convictions.
