This is why Conor McGregor wants to trademark his nickname

Conor McGregor is set to trademark his own name and nickname, as he prepares for life after the UFC.

The Crumlin native, who is expecting his first child with girlfriend Dee Devlin this year, filed the trademark through his company McGregor Sports and Entertainment.

According to The Irish Sun, Conor hopes to trademark his own name, and his nickname ‘The Notorious’ for products such as video games, aftershave, books, clothing, restaurants, barbershops and health clubs.

The star’s attempts to trademark his name show that he’s making plans for life after the UFC, when he eventually retires.

Conor already has a deal with sports giant Reebok that allows them to use both his name and nickname – but, the brand does not own them.

Yesterday, the 28-year-old was named on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list, under the category of Social Stars.

On Instagram alone, the fighter has over 10 million followers.
