UFC fans reacted to former double champion Conor McGregor sharing his iconic debut walkout image. McGregor debuted in the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2013 against Marcus Brimage in Sweden. McGregor has fought inside the octagon 14 times and has won 10 of those bouts.
The Irishman became the first person to hold two UFC belts simultaneously. The 36-year-old had impressive skills on the mic and made people tune in for his fights which made him a favourite with the company's top brass.
In a post on X, McGregor shared a picture of his debut against Brimage in 2013 and captioned it:
"IRELAND FIRST"

Quinton Jackson asserts Conor McGregor will never fight against Jeremy Stephens
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson recently dismissed the idea of Conor McGregor fighting Jeremy Stephens in BKFC. During an episode of JAXXON PODCAST, the former champion told Stephens that he doubts McGregor will pursue a fight against him. Jackson also expressed his doubts regarding McGregor returning to competition:
"I can tell you right now, [McGregor will] never fight you. Conor McGregor is never stepping foot inside a cage or ring or bare-knuckle. I can see him fighting like, Jake Paul, Logan Paul. I heard it was all rumors...It ain't worth it for him. What can he make off a fight with you?... Like, what, $50 million? He can probably make it...I don't know."
