Ahead of the Saturday’s RTÉ Sports Awards, we take a look at one of the nominees for the RTÉ Sport Person of the Year Award, MMA fighter Conor McGregor.
The UFC star took the featherweight title in some style just last weekend, beating the 10-year champion Jose Aldo in 13 seconds. He stands at the top of the main MMA franchise.
The winner will be revealed and presented with their awards at The RTÉ Sport Awards in association with Sport Ireland, which will be broadcast live on RTÉ One, Saturday at 9.40pm.
Presented by Darragh Maloney, the live show will review what was another momentous year for Irish athletes and teams, and look back on the dramatic and memorable sporting moments of 2015.
