- According to Conor McGregor himself, the former UFC multi-division champion will make around $50 million for showing up Saturday night and challenging Khabib Nurmagomedov for the lightweight title. The bout headlines UFC 229 in Las Vegas.

"We're estimating around 3-to-3.5 million (PPV buys)," McGregor said earlier this week during a press conference. "I'd say I'll close around the $50 million mark. For a mixed martial artist to make $50 million from a bout, it's quite breathtaking. I have to thank my management stable, Paradigm Sports Management.

"I've got to thank Dana White, I've got to thank Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, who schooled me in the game. The new owners....W....what's the name....WMG-IMG? Those guys as well. Life is good."

The incident Herrig was referring to happened earlier this year when McGregor and members of his entourage stormed the Barclays Center in search of Nurmagomedov. The end result was McGregor being arrested for his role in the ordeal.
