UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor doesn’t do all of his fighting inside the Octagon.

Now the brash Irishman finds himself trying to save his image rights and likenesses, as he has registered two more trademarks such as ‘The Mac Life’ and ‘The Notorious’; while a barber in Ireland is filing for the trademark ‘Notorious 13’ in reference to McGregor’s 13-second knockout of former featherweight king Jose Aldo.

TheTimes.co.uk first reported:

“McGregor, whose fighting nickname is the Notorious, applied on July 7 to register a series of trademarks in Ireland, including his name, and the phrases “the Mac Life” and “the Notorious”.

Earlier this year the Grafton Barber, a company with 28 barber shops, applied to trademark “Notorious 13″, a reference to McGregor’s 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo.”

McGregor is currently set to meet Stockton Native Nate Diaz in the main event of UFC 202 live on pay-per-view (PPV), from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 20, 2016.

The 145-pound champ also already has an interim champion waiting to welcome him back to the division once he finishes up his welterweight tenure with Diaz in McGregor’s old friend Jose Aldo, who just took home the interim strap in a five-round war with former 155-pound champion Frankie Edgar at UFC 200.

McGregor and Aldo are expected to meet inside the Octagon once again in order to unify the two titles sometime in the near future.

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor took home yet another award to display in his trophy case, when he was voted Best Fighter at the 2016 ESPY awards this week.

McGregor took to Instagram to express his gratitude for the award, and while he is preparing for a rematch with Nate Diaz later next month, the Irishman claims he is also sharpening his tools to take out everyone who has spoke ill of him since his defeat in March:

“It is an honour to take ‘Best Fighter’ at the prestigious ESPY awards! I am deep in preparation to come and take out everyone that has spoke my name in vain. I will get you all.”

McGregor (19-3), as previously mentioned, is looking to rebound after his upset loss to the longtime UFC veteran Diaz at UFC 196, when the Irishman was caught with a 1-2 combo from the Gracie jiu-jitsu black belt flush on the chin and was subsequently choked out after a poor takedown attempt.

‘Notorious’ has brought in a variety of professional boxing and world jiu-jitsu champions in preparation for Diaz’s well-rounded skill set, and will collide with his brash rival once again in the main event of UFC 202 in Vegas next month.

Some unfinished business at the Irishman’s championship weight class of 145 pounds still lingers as well, as former featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo once again holds gold in the division and is certainly next in line to get the next crack at ‘The Notorious One’.

McGregor’s last appearance at 145 pounds was in impressive one to say the least, as he ended Aldo’s decade of dominance in a staggering 13-seconds with a perfectly placed counter-left hand to shut the Brazilian’s lights out for the first time in his storied career.

It should be interesting to see how McGregor performs following his first loss under the UFC banner, as he seems to be preparing for his upcoming welterweight contest with Diaz in a rather obsessive fashion.

Diaz and McGregor will meet in the headliner of UFC 202 live on pay-per-view (PPV), from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 20, 2016.
