2015 Fighter of the Year: Conor McGregor
Esther Lin photoThere's only one Conor McGregor.
And there's only one fighter who delivered like McGregor in 2015.
It's almost comical now to look back on where the newly crowned UFC featherweight champion stood when this year began.
Remember that? McGregor was called the UFC's protected one. The golden boy. The guy who had just one win over a Top-10 divisional opponent (Dustin Poirier), yet the one whose mugs was plastered all over FOX on NFC conference championship Sunday leading into his Jan. 18 clash with Dennis Siver in Boston.
