On 17 February 2007, at the age of 18, McGregor made his mixed martial arts debut, in an amateur fight against Ciaran Campbell for the Irish Ring of Truth promotion in Dublin. He was victorious via technical knockout (TKO) in the first round. Following the fight, he turned professional and was signed by the Irish Cage of Truth promotion. In 2008, he began training at the Straight Blast Gym in Dublin under John Kavanagh.

On 9 March 2008, aged 19, McGregor made his professional MMA debut at Cage of Truth 2, defeating Gary Morris with a second-round TKO. Beginning in 2011, McGregor started an undefeated streak of 14 wins, consisting of one judges' decision, one submission and twelve knockouts/technical knockouts (nine occurring in the first round). During this period McGregor produced one of the fastest recorded knockouts in MMA, ending a fight in four seconds at Immortal Fighting Championship in Letterkenny, Ireland.[13] In 2012, McGregor won both the CWFC Featherweight and Lightweight titles, making him the first European professional MMA fighter to hold titles in two divisions at the same time. The UFC's president Dana White traveled to Dublin in early February 2013 to receive a Gold Medal of Honorary Patronage from Trinity College's Philosophical Society and was inundated with requests to sign McGregor. The two later met in Dublin and White was so impressed with what he saw that he contacted UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta and they subsequently offered McGregor a contract days later.
