Well, it’s safe to say that even after the loss to Khabib Nurmagoemdov the value and star attraction of Conor McGregor for UFC has not decreased a bit. And with a win over Donald Cerrone, Conor will be back on the driving seat again. He will have some huge fights ahead of him such as the rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov, the trilogy fight with Nate Diaz, the super fight with Jorge Masvidal, and the welterweight title fight with Kamaru Usman. Considering those fights are on the table, it can be assumed that the paycheck of Conor will just get bigger in his future fights.
