Details regarding Conor McGregor’s earnings from five notable UFC fights have come to light as part of the UFC’s anti-trust litigation, revealing the staggering financial success of the MMA icon. A report presented during the proceedings highlighted the salaries of top UFC fighters from 2011 to 2016, with McGregor being a key figure in these revelations.

During this timeframe, McGregor was undoubtedly the face of the organization, and his financial records showcased an astonishing total of $25 million accrued from just five bouts. His journey to significant earnings began in July 2015, when he headlined his first UFC pay-per-view event against Chad Mendes, earning a remarkable $3,285,000. This figure included a substantial discretionary bonus of $2.11 million, marking his entry into the realm of high-stakes payouts.

In a much-anticipated clash with Jose Aldo, McGregor’s payday soared to between $4,476,662 and $4,536,932, while Aldo earned $2,377,699. Following a surprising defeat to Nate Diaz via submission, McGregor still managed to secure $5,576,315. He later avenged this loss in a rematch, bringing in $5,615,490, with Diaz earning $2,838,158 in their first encounter and $4,315,490 in their rematch.

Shortly after his victory over Diaz, McGregor returned to the octagon and captured the UFC lightweight championship by defeating Eddie Alvarez, which added another impressive $6,812,374 to his earnings. However, since his defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021, the 36-year-old fighter has been out of action.

Fans are eagerly waiting for McGregor’s return, with speculation surrounding a potential fight against Logan Paul in India next year. Reports suggest that the purse for this matchup could reach an astonishing $250 million for both fighters, setting the stage for yet another lucrative chapter in the Irish fighter’s career.
