The Untold Truth of Conor McGregor’s Net Worth and His Relationship With Dee Devlin

Whether you love him or hate him, there is no denying the fact that Conor McGregor is one of the greatest mixed martial artists in history. The Irish fighter has won several belts and has set as many records in the course of his career. He has also headlined some of the biggest pay-per-view fights in UFC history, thus making for some generous paydays.

Away from the ring, the flamboyant McGregor is smitten with his girlfriend of over a decade, Dee Devlin. Devlin has stuck by her man’s side through all the fame and glamour. Most importantly, she was equally there when he was a young fighter struggling to make it in Dublin.

Conor McGregor Before He Joined the UFC

Born on July 14, 1988, in Dublin, Ireland, Conor McGregor grew up in the suburb of Crumlin. He had his primary and secondary education at Gaelscoil and Gaelcholaiste respectively. The young boy developed a passion for sports during his school days, venturing into association football before later taking to boxing. McGregor later dabbled into mixed martial arts by the time he was 16 and took to the sports like fish to water.

In 2007, the Irishman made his MMA debut when he had his first amateur bout against Kieran Campbell in Dublin. He defeated Campbell via TKO in the first round and immediately decided to go pro. McGregor spent a total of five years fighting as a pro in Ireland. He won 13 straight fights which fetched him fame and thousands of dollars in earnings. He along the way also caught the interest of UFC president Dana White who paid a visit to Dublin in February 2013 to view and possibly sign the upcoming star.

White was ultimately impressed with the fighter who had a growing fan base and ended up signing him to a UFC contract a few weeks later.

Analysis of His Net Worth: How He Made His $120 Million Net Worth

Conor McGregor has come a long way from his days of fighting for peanuts on the Irish MMA circuit. The Dublin native now has a net worth of $120 million, an amount he accumulated mostly from his UFC career.

He Has Made Over $48 Million from In-ring Performances.

He made his UFC debut on the 6th of April 2013 when he defeated opponent Marcus Brimage in the first round. His victory over Brimage was so spectacular that he was also awarded the knockout of the night award. Since then, McGregor has established himself as one of the most dominant fighters in the UFC, winning the lightweight and the featherweight championships.

Buoyed by extra skills in Tae Kwon Do, Karate, and Kickboxing, Conor has also become a fan favourite and has headlined some of the biggest pay-per-view fights in UFC history. One of the most notable ones was his much-touted fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in June 2018.

The fight generated 2.4 million PPVs and about $18 million in revenue. Conor also enjoyed a generous payday following his UFC 246 bout against Donald Cerrone in January 2020. The fight generated 2 million PPV buys and just over $11 million in revenue.

Conor McGregor VS Floyd Mayweather Jr

The above-listed fights are, however, not the biggest payday that the Irish fighter has enjoyed. That honour belongs to his highly-publicized boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in August 2017.

The fight generated a total of 4.3 million PPV buys, and McGregor was guaranteed to receive the sum of $30 million. That amount later snowballed to $85 million even though he lost the match.

Below is a breakdown of what he has earned from all his fights:

As listed above, the first time McGregor and Dustin met was in September 2014, and Conor stole the show, he knocked Poirier out in the first round of the bout. Over 6 years later, Dustin would take his revenge as he knocked The Notorious out in the second round of their UFC 257 meeting on the 23rd of January 2021.

The first was an important one for Dustin as much as it was for McGregor. While the former hoped to get even, the latter was looking to reintroduce himself in the game and get a rematch against Khabib Nurmagomedov who defeated him in October 2018.

As fate would have it, McGregor lost the match. This means that Mystic Mac lost two of his last three fights. As such, his future in the UFC is uncertain. As of this writing, it is unclear if he would get his rematch against Khabib. One thing is certain though, Conor would continue to attract massive pay. Maybe not as large as he has earned in recent years, but people still want to see him fight and the rematch with Khabib is bound to be a cash cow if it happens.

Conor made over $3 million from his fight with Dustin. The amount is way more than the $830,000 Poirier got even though he put up a sensational performance that put the Irishman to sleep.
