$50,000 is probably pocket change for Conor McGregor, but the UFC megastar couldn’t help but gloat about the $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus he received, in cash, by Dana White and former UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta at a celebratory post-fight toast in Las Vegas following his big win over Donald Cerrone last weekend.

“Happy National Irish coffee day everyone! Check out @properwhiskey for our recipe of this incredible drink. What a combination,” McGregor posted on Instagram earlier this week.

McGregor received the bonus for his scintillating performance against Cerrone at UFC 246, where ‘The Notorious’ outclassed ‘Cowboy’ enroute to a technical knockout victory at 0:40 of the first round.
