But will he win?
The annual RTE Sports Awards take place this weekend and in an effort to create a bit of buzz around the event in the build-up, the national broadcaster have been releasing individual promotional videos for the nominees for the Sports Person of the Year award.
Dave Berry, who’s directing the awards this year, cut the one below for Conor McGregor and it’s a fine piece of work if you don’t mind us saying so.

The footage takes us back to McGregor’s battling victory over Chad Mendes and relives some of the 13 seconds he spent in the octagon with Jose Aldo last weekend to remind us what an amazing year it’s been for the Notorious.
Will he win the main award? He’s got some fierce competition in the shape of Paul O’Connell, Michael Conlan, TJ Reid, Andy Lee et al but he’s in with a great shout.
The RTE Sports Awards will air on RTE 2 this Saturday at 9.40pm.
