In around two and a half years, Conor McGregor has become the biggest name in Mixed Martial Arts and the most famous person in Ireland.
But before he knocked Marcus Brimmage out in his first UFC fight, he was on the dole. His earnings for 2016 are projected to be in the tens of millions.
McGregor is nominated for RTE's Sports Person of the Year Award which is on this Saturday night at 9.40pm on RTE ONE and he has our vote.. Producer and director of the show Dave Berry cut this superb promo.
