Former two-division champion Conor McGregor, in a recent Instagram story, congratulated Ari Emanuel. The 63-year-old is an American businessman and also the CEO of Endeavor.

Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel received a compensation package that was around $83.9 million last year. The 63-year-old has managed to receive the same compensation ($83.9 million) this time around as well. Emanuel also has a net worth of $450 M and is Hollywood’s highest-paid CEO at the moment. McGregor took this opportunity to congratulate the CEO and shared a story along with a message that read, ‘Yup the Ari fella!’.

He has defeated some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. The owner of TKO Group/ Endeavor has achieved massive success in the last 2 years and has increased his worth four times. Some of the big names that Emanuel has walked past are Ted Sarandos (Co-CEO of Netflix) and David Zaslav (CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery). Both Sarandos and Zaslav held the second and third positions, respectively. Hopefully, Ari Emanuel can continue reaching heights which would help the UFC grow as a promotion.

He recently took to his X account to share a message for the Dubliner and wrote, “Please tell me a dis track is coming…I will roast this fool,”. If ‘Mystic Mac’ comes up with a diss track, this will be the first of a kind in the history of the combat sports world. ‘Iron’ who prefers to do most of the talking inside the Octagon, has promised to retire the ‘Notorious One’ in most of his interviews. However, he will have to be at his supreme best if he wants to back his talks with actions.
