Conor McGregor you probably know, or have heard of, even if you're not an MMA fan.

Erin McGregor? Not so much.

However, McGregor's older sister was actually a pro bodybuilder, meaning Mystic Mac isn't the only competitive athlete in the family. While not as famous or successful as her little bro, she did appear at Fitness Extravaganza 2013, and has made other appearances as well. She even picked up a few wins.

However, these days, she's no longer feeling the passion for fitness she once did. Speaking to Sunday World, she stated

"For the 12 weeks running up to the competition it completely took over my life. I thoroughly applaud everyone who takes part, but that’s when I kind of thought, is it worth it?

"In the end I said to myself I am just going to do what makes me happy and not what it takes to win a trophy."

Having just given birth to a baby boy, Erin's pro bodybuilding days may be over.
