Conor McGregor is without a doubt the most popular fighter to ever be a part of MMA. Throughout the world, people know ‘Notorious’ for his fighting skills and entertaining personality. Therefore, as McGregor is so popular across the globe, it comes as no surprise that he has been a part of some of the highest-grossing PPV events in UFC history.

Recently though, a list was revealed by Sportskeeda.com that showed the 10 highest earning PPVs in UFC history. McGregor retweeted that particular list and talked about how it is wrong. He wrote, “This list is incorrect. McGregor Aldo done more than UFC 100, Brock v Mir.”

“And McGregor Cowboy done more than McGregor Aldo. I currently hold 8 of the UFC’s top 10 PPVs. With two fights left on my contract, I will look to finish with the full top 10 in PPVs. Motivating!”

In another tweet, a fan tried to correct McGregor and tell him that the list is indeed correct. He wrote, “McGregor Cerrone was 1.3 mill, McGregor Aldo was 1.2 mill and brock vs Mir was 1.6 mill. Seems like the list is accurate.”
