As the standard bearer of MMA, it’s not uncommon to spot Conor McGregor in the company of other sports stars. A few years ago, he had also exchanged a few words with Cristiano Ronaldo to whom he had made a crazy promise… but which he nevertheless knew how to keep afterwards!
Certainly, his arrogant and sulphurous behavior is enough to push many people to hate him. But if the man that is Conor McGregor divides the spirits, he is already much more unanimous as a fighter. Not only are we talking about a former champion in the UFC, but we are also talking about the biggest slot machine in the history of MMA, he who earns crazy sums without fighting.
It’s easy to say, the Notorious is a legend in his discipline and as such, he sometimes crosses paths with other superstars from the world of sport. As a fighting enthusiast, Cristian Ronaldo had notably exchanged with him in 2020, as shown in a video that recently resurfaced. The opportunity for the two men to discuss finances in particular:

Ripped, McGregor’s message before his return: “Drugs don’t…”!
Conor McGregor : You are number 1 in the Forbes ranking (of the highest paid athletes of the year, editor’s note), I was 35th. I’m going up !
Cristiano Ronaldo : I would be first.
Conor McGregor : Maybe next year I will have you.
Cristiano Ronaldo : I do not think so. (laughs)
When you know how football rakes in colossal sums every year, especially superstars like CR7, this was quite a challenge for the native of Dublin. The most impressive thing, however, is that he was able to keep his word since in 2021, CMG was at the top of the athlete rankings with no less than 180 million dollars won! A flex that always impresses French fans:
Conor has planned his life so much…it’s amazing.

To surpass footballers in the Forbes ranking of the highest paid athletes, let alone a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo, is a huge achievement and it perfectly illustrates the phenomenon that is Conor McGregor. He may annoy more than one, the Notorious remains the symbol of success in MMA and it will be hard to dislodge him from the throne.
