In a recent Tweet, fans can witness McGregor in a different avatar. Surprisingly, McGregor looked beyond recognition. The Irishman stayed true to his brash attitude and surprised the fans by adopting an ‘ape avatar’. In addition, the former champion spoke hoarsely.

In the video, the 34-year-old athlete possibly referred to his probable comeback. Thus, he said, “I told you I’ll be back. Wakey wakey”

Since fighting his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier in Las Vegas in mid-2021, the fighter is eyeing a comeback. But McGregor made the news for all the wrong reasons when Dana White accepted that USADA didn’t test the fighter in 2022.

Notably, this also includes the $100 million earned from the ‘money fight’ in 2017, when he fought Floyd Mayweather in a professional boxing match. While the ‘Mystic Mac’ ended the fight at a loss, this hefty paycheck ballooned his net worth.

Significantly, the MMA fighter sold his majority stake in his whiskey brand, No.12 Whiskey, in a $600 million deal. Also, the total career earnings of the Irish fighter stood at $235 million. Thus making him the wealthiest MMA fighter on the planet.
