Donald Cerrone was asked what he thinks about Conor McGregor saying he will make $80 million this weekend at UFC 246, suggesting he be given some of it. McGregor said earlier this week that he is going to make $80 million for his comeback fight to the Octagon against Cerrone. He also said he made $50 million for his fight at UFC 229 against Khabib Nurmagomedov. The UFC has not confirmed those numbers, but as the sport’s biggest star, it’s not crazy to think McGregor is in line for a huge payday.
