UFC Fighter Conor McGregor is one of the most prolific athletes in the sporting world. ‘The Notorious’ has not stepped into the Octagon since UFC 264 but is still one of the most valuable assets to the promotion. Despite only fighting twice in 2021, McGregor still managed to top the UFC charts for Pay-per-view buys that year. While the Irishman’s personality and trash-talking nature has certainly helped him in the Octagon, it has also garnered him a large fan following.

McGregor’s social media accounts are regarded as one of the most valuable ones in sports. ‘The Notorious’ makes a handsome sum of money through his social media pages, which only adds to the profit from his other ventures. It’s been revealed that the Irishman currently nets around $149,000 for a sponsored post on his account.

Social Media Presence of Conor McGregor

The Irishman sports some remarkable numbers on his social media accounts. His personal Instagram account features an impressive 45.9 million followers and his Twitter account stacks up 9.4 million followers. This is no surprise as the Former Two-Division UFC Champion is quite active on his accounts, with physique updates and occasional call-outs.

McGregor has many business ventures outside the Octagon as well, which he promotes using his platform. His Whiskey company Proper Twelve Whiskey has soared to great success, which no doubt was influenced by the fighter’s promotion of it through his social media pages.

The Irishman’s brand is certainly still on the rise. However, his recent UFC record is certainly not something the Former-Two-Division Champ will be proud of. ‘The Notorious’ is set to make his highly talked about UFC return soon, as he will be looking to prove that he is still a title contender.
