From his 2013 debut, “The Notorious” Conor McGregor has been a major contributor to the UFC’s rapid expansion. Not one of the UFC’s numerous well-known stars has achieved the same level of success as Conor McGregor. It goes without saying that this made him the most paid athlete in the company’s history.
