Conor McGregor’s name resonates in the MMA world and every nook and corner of the combat sports industry. As such, anyone associated with ‘The Notorious’ is looked upon with anticipation. McGregor’s personal photographer, Dave Fogarty, decided to swap his camera for boxing gloves.
Now, Fogarty’s no stranger to the fight game. He’s been capturing Conor McGregor’s highs and lows for years. But being in the spotlight? That’s a whole new ball game. The event went down at Dublin’s 3Arena, part of KSI’s Misfits Boxing series. Fogarty stepped into the ring against Deen The Great, the reigning lightweight champ.
At first, it looked like Fogarty might just pull off an upset. He came out swinging, putting pressure on Deen. But as they say, it ain’t over ’til it’s over, and this one ended with a bang. Deen The Great lived up to his name. He caught Fogarty with a right hand in round three. Fogarty got up, but it was like watching a baby giraffe on roller skates. The ref called it quits with just three seconds left in the round.
Now, you might be thinking, “Why would Conor McGregor’s photographer step into the ring?” Fogarty’s got some fighting experience. He’s had 12 MMA bouts before. After the fight, Fogarty was understandably disappointed. But in the fight game, you win some, and you lose some. As for McGregor, he is slated to possibly appear in the Octagon this December.

“I’m really disappointed in that stoppage…I’m probably going to head to the one and only Black Forge Inn. I have a few mates on my phone, and I’ll go back and talk to Conor (McGregor) and see what he says. I’m sure he’ll have a bit of voice for me,” said Fogarty via Fred Talks Fighting.
So, what’s next for the fighting photographer? Will he stick to snapping shots or keep throwing punches? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: Dave Fogarty’s got guts. It takes some serious courage to step into that ring.
