Conor McGregor gets new deal with UFC, includes Proper No. 12 whiskey on canvas
When Conor McGregor enters the Octagon against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, he will earn the highest purse for a single fight in UFC history.
UFC President Dana White confirmed the earlier reports following Thursday’s UFC 229 press conference in New York City.
“Conor knows exactly what he’s worth and what he expects to get,” said White. “At the end of the day, he’s worth it. We were just looking at the streams and this press conference beat the highest rated MayMac the press tour. The kid is brilliant and not only can he talk, he shows up and he fights. He will fight anybody, anywhere, anytime.
“So it was not hard to get a deal done with Conor McGregor because we also know what he’s worth.”
