Conor McGregor is the undisputed top attraction in the sport of mixed martial arts. ‘The Notorious’ is not only one of the biggest names in the UFC, but in sports period. Every time McGregor fights, he commands the attention of the masses, which results in mammoth PPV numbers for his fight cards. 

McGregor recently took to clarify another record he holds in the UFC. A fan tweeted at McGregor, sharing a screenshot of the top 9 most successful UFC PPV events. The caption read, “@TheNotoriousMMA This is why your the best! Can’t wait to see you get back on your winning spree!!! #THEIRISHAREBACKBABY!!!”

‘The Notorious’ replied, stating, “This list is incorrect. McGregor Aldo done more than ufc 100, Brock v mir. And McGregor cowboy done more than McGregor Aldo. I currently hold 8 of the UFC’s top 10 ppv’s. With two fights left on my contract,  I will look to finish with the full top 10 in ppv’s. Motivating!”

Conor McGregor and his impressive numbers in the UFC

‘The Notorious’ has many records in the UFC. However, he has been particularly successful in promoting and selling massive events in the UFC. The Irishman holds the record for the biggest PPV event in UFC history. His fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 sold well over 2 million PPVs. 

Despite not being the same dominant force he once used to be, McGregor can still put on insane numbers in terms of PPV buys. His comeback fight against Dustin Poirier in January this year sold an impressive 1.6 million PPV buys. Furthermore, the rematch and the final fight in the trilogy sold a whopping 1.8 million PPVs, which makes it the second most successful PPV in UFC history. 

Also, McGregor holds the record for the highest gate (UFC 229), and the biggest payday by a UFC athlete. If ‘The Notorious’ has two fights left on his contract, it is extremely likely that he can round out the top 10 of the most successful PPVs in UFC history.
