Conor McGregor's true UFC earnings for 2015/2016 have come to light in the promotion's current class action lawsuit.
Forbes claimed that McGregor earned $27million for his UFC 202 rematch against Nate Diaz and UFC 205 world title fight against Eddie Alvarez. The magazine also reported McGregor made $18million for his UFC 189 interim title fight with Chad Mendes, UFC 194 world title fight against Jose Aldo and UFC 196 bout against Nate Diaz. McGregor's payouts from UFC’s own filings show that he didn’t get close to half of those claimed figures.
