Conor McGregor comments on 10 year anniversary of UFC debut

Conor McGregor has taken to social media to comment on the 10 year anniversary of his UFC debut.

It was April 6th 2013 when the Dubliner first set foot inside an Octagon and changed the game forever.

Knocking out Marcus Brimmage early in the first round, the man who would go on to become a two-weight UFC champion grabbed the microphone and famously said 'Dana, 60G's baby!'

A star was born and McGregor would go on to become the biggest draw in the history of the sport.

Taking to Instagram, McGregor reflected on his UFC journey to date a decade on from his breakthrough moment.

Posting a collage of images from his most famous moments, McGregor simply captioned the post "Ten years in the @ufc!"

The Irishman will make his return to the UFC later this year when he takes on Michael Chandler.

It will be McGregor's first bout since he suffered a devastating leg injury in defeat to Dustin Poirier almost two years ago.
