Unsurprisingly, fan favourite McGregor is the co-owner of the biggest pay-per-view event in UFC history.

In October 2018, McGregor's grudge match with bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov shattered the promotion's previous PPV record by raking in a staggering 2.4million buys.

McGregor's most recent outing, his UFC 257 rematch with Dustin Poirier, was watched by 1.6million fight fans.
