UFC fighter Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names in the world of sports. The Irishman is one of the most valuable assets to the UFC. Despite fighting only twice last year, ‘The Notorious‘ still managed to top the UFC pay-per-view charts. The Former Two-Division champion knows his worth to the company and has been pushing for a return.
McGregor has reportedly earned an astounding $25.3 million from his fights with the UFC. The 34-year-old dominates the top spot, as he is more than $10 million ahead of rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, who sits in second place.

Jon Jones, one of the most successful champions in UFC history, has earned a total of just $7 million, less than a third of McGregor’s earnings.
The list features many other prominent UFC fighters like Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre, and Alistair Overeem. But the Irishman and the Russian fighter are the only two who have cracked the $10 million mark.
Remarkable fight earnings for Conor McGregor
McGregor is said to make around $1,740,000 per fight, without adding his sponsorship deals or pay-per-view bonuses. The Irishman once again dominates his list, as he earns close to four times as much as Israel Adesanya ($312,765), who sits in second place.
‘The Notorious’ reportedly makes close to $218,000 for every minute that he spends fighting in the Octagon. This means that the Irishman takes home over a million dollars for each five-minute round.
