Former UFC dual division champion Conor McGregor is possibly the biggest name to represent UFC. The Irishman has not only gained a name for his antics inside the octagon, but he also operates on a high level outside of it. He is the richest mixed martial artist in the world.

In a recent Q&A session with his fans on Twitter, ‘The Notorious’ one answered many questions. From talking about his fellow fighters to his return timeline, he spaced out some time from his busy schedule to answer the fight fights from around the world.

One of his fans asked him at what age he will officially become a billionaire, ‘The Notorious‘ one tweeted him back and wrote, “35“. McGregor is certainly on a path to become a billionaire. He recently climbed to the top spot on the Forbes list of the highest-paid celebrities.

This is not the first time that Conor has shown his interest in becoming a billionaire. In his media day conference, prior to his UFC 264 trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier, he had claimed that he will become a billionaire by the age of 35. Currently, he is 33 years old and thus has 2 years to put money where his mouth is.

Adding another chapter to their rivalry, McGregor again took a shot at ‘DC’. When a fan asked who are the reporters targeting him, McGregor said, “I understand the business fully. It’s when it’s covered solely one-sided is the issue – that is not professionalism. That is moms basement. DC hooks a tripod/camera up the box room of his house. It’s garbage.”

Clearly, this battle will not end soon. Conor certainly isn’t happy with ‘DC‘ as he bonds well with his rivals, Dustin Poirier and Khabib Nurmagomedov. The ball has now landed on Cormier’s side, and it will be interesting to see his reply on the same.
