Удаан хугацааны завсарлагааны дараа октагонд эргэн ирж буй Конор МакГрегор өөрийн алдарт “Notorious” хоч хэрхэн үүссэн талаар “The Tonight Show” нэвтрүүлгийн үеэр ярьжээ.
МакГрегор 2026 оны долдугаар сарын 11-нд Лас-Вегас хотноо болох UFC 329 тэмцээний хүрээнд Макс Холлоуэйтэй 170 фунтын жинд тулалдахаар товлогдоод байна. Энэ нь таван жилийн өмнө Дастин Порьетой хийсэн тулаанд хөлөө гэмтээснээс хойшх түүний анхны тоглолт болох юм.
Тэрээр залуу байхдаа асуудал тарих дуртай байсан тул дасгалжуулагч нь түүний утасны дугаарыг “Trouble” (Асуудал) хэмээн хадгалдаг байснаас энэхүү хоч үүссэн гэв. Мөн тэрээр хип хоп хөгжмийн домог The Notorious B.I.G-ийн уран бүтээлийг хүндэтгэж, тулааны өмнөх үзүүлбэртээ түүний дууг ашигладаг нь энэ нэр улам бэхжихэд нөлөөлсөн гэдгийг онцолжээ.
Гэвч МакГрегорын карьер ахихын хэрээр түүний нэр хүнд олон нийтийн дунд сөрөг хандлагатай болж, олон төрлийн шүүх хурал, хууль эрх зүйн маргаанд холбогдсон билээ. Үүнд олон нийтийн газар хүч хэрэглэсэн болон бэлгийн хүчирхийлэлтэй холбоотой хэргүүд багтаж байна.
Эргэн ирэлтийн тулааныхаа өмнө МакГрегор өөрийгөө өөрчлөгдсөн гэж мэдэгдэж байгаа бөгөөд олон нийтийн дунд эерэг дүр төрхийг бүрдүүлэхийн тулд хэвлэл мэдээллийн хэрэгслүүдээр идэвхтэй ажиллаж байна. Тэрээр нэвтрүүлгийн үеэр хөтлөгч Жимми Фаллонд “The Slow Jammer” хэмээх хоч өгч, тулааны ертөнцийн өөрийн гэсэн хэв маягийг харуулжээ.

Conor McGregor shared a tidbit of his origin story on a recent episode of The Tonight Show.
On July 11 at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, McGregor fights for the first time since breaking his leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier five years ago. He is matched up with past rival Max Holloway in a bout that takes place at 170 pounds, and win or lose, the matchup is expected to be one of the most talked-about fights of 2026 due to McGregor still being the biggest name in MMA.
McGregor was asked by Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon how he earned the nickname “Notorious,” and the former two-division champion explained the organic process behind it.
“It actually came because I had a habit of getting into trouble when I was younger a little bit and my coach had me saved in the phone as ‘Trouble,’ actually,” McGregor said. “Now, I was only a young guy, but you know, I was just notorious for it. That’s it.”
The 37-year-old added that it is also a nod to hip-hop legend The Notorious B.I.G. McGregor has frequently used the artist’s 1997 hit song Hypnotize as part of his entrance music.
“I like Biggie as well, I like the music, and that was the walkout song and it just kind of gelled together over the years and it became the Notorious,” McGregor said.
Unfortunately for McGregor, his nickname took on new meaning as his fighting career progressed and his outside-of-the-cage transgressions accumulated.
McGregor has been involved in numerous lawsuits over the years, with the subjects ranging from destroying a fan’s phone to punching an elderly man in a pub to a recent civil suit that saw him found liable for sexual assault for an incident that occurred in Dublin in 2018.
Ahead of his comeback fight, McGregor has repeatedly preached that he is a changed man and is currently making the media rounds to rehabilitate his public image. He turned on the charm in his brief Tonight Show appearance, even giving Fallon a fighter nickname after watching him throw a few punches.
“That’s not bad,” McGregor said. “How about Jimmy ‘The Slow Jammer’ Fallon?’”
