A fan pointed out on Twitter that McGregor has headlined seven out of the 10 highest-selling PPVs in UFC history. The Irishman responded by saying that he, in fact, has eight (including Conor McGregor-Donald Cerrone) and is planning to take the two remaining spots to make it a clean sweep.
In the process of interacting with the fan, McGregor revealed he has two fights remaining on his UFC contract. When another Twitter user contested McGregor’s claims, the Irishman insisted that his numbers were correct.
McGregor is also adamant that his UFC 246 comeback fight against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone generated more revenue than UFC 100, which was headlined by the rematch between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir.
Nevertheless, ‘The Notorious’ is currently recovering from the leg break injury he suffered in the main event of UFC 264. A medical suspension bans him from active competition until January 2022.
Who will Conor McGregor fight in his UFC comeback?
Conor McGregor has suffered back-to-back losses for the first time in his career, with two straight TKO defeats against Dustin Poirier in their rematch and trilogy bouts. But due to the unfortunate and inconclusive ending of UFC 264, it was heavily rumored that McGregor and Poirier could lock horns in a fourth fight.
However, the Irishman recently hinted at the possibility of his return fight being a trilogy fight against his arch-rival Nate Diaz. On Twitter, the 33-year-old Dublin native posted a picture of himself facing off with Diaz, with the caption:
In March 2016, Nate Diaz became the first man to defeat Conor McGregor in the octagon after agreeing to fight the Irishman on short notice. Five months later, McGregor avenged his loss in a rematch, beating the Stockton badboy via majority decision.
