Conor McGregor, ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone and Holly Holm lead final salaries for UFC 246

Conor McGregor made a whopping $76,250 per second for his performance this past Saturday night at UFC 246.

It took the former two-division champion just 40 seconds to finish Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the main event, where he took home a disclosed $3 million payday for his efforts. McGregor also earned an extra $50,000 for ‘Performance of the Night’, bringing his full purse to $3,050,000.

The disclosed salaries are courtesy of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, but do not include any pay-per-view or discretionary bonuses paid by the UFC.

When it’s all said and done, McGregor is expected to make a far greater sum than the disclosed money revealed by the Nevada Commission, although those final figures will not be made public.
