Conor McGregor is making a $3 million payday for his return to the Octagon at UFC 246 against Donald Cerrone.<\/p>\n

The Irishman recently came out and made a bold claim that he would be making $80 million<\/a>, which many didn’t think was accurate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m confident it\u2019s going to be a nice paycheck. Probably [most ever] in my mixed martial arts [MMA] career,\u201d Conor McGregor said to ESPN<\/a>. “Yeah, I\u2019d say about, it could be, I\u2019m estimating a good $80 million.”<\/p>\n

Even though Conor McGregor’s base salary is $3 million, there is still a chance he makes the $80 million as projected from sponsors and pay-per-view points among other sources of income. The $3 million salary is also the same amount he made for his UFC 229 bout against Khabib Nurmagomedov, where he revealed he made closer to $50 million when all was said and done.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor, to no surprise, is making the most out of the main card fighters. The next closest is Donald Cerrone who is making $200,000 to show and $200,000 to win. Former champions in Anthony Pettis and Holly Holm are the only other competitors making a base salary above $100,000.<\/p>\n

Here are the UFC 246 main card salaries from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (via MMA Fighting<\/a>).<\/p>\n

*Note the Ode Osbourne vs. Brian Kelleher fights did not get revealed as it was bumped from the prelims to main card earlier today.<\/p>\n

UFC 246 main card salaries:<\/h3>\n

Conor McGregor<\/a>: $3 million flat (no win bonus)<\/p>\n

Donald Cerrone: $200,000 to show, $200,000 to win<\/p>\n

Holly Holm: $150,000 to show, $50,000 to win<\/p>\n

Raquel Pennington: $63,000 to show, $63,000 to win<\/p>\n

Alexey Oleynik<\/a>: $75,000 to show, $75,000 to win<\/p>\n

Maurice Greene<\/a>: $30,000 to show, $30,000 to win<\/p>\n

Anthony Pettis: $155,000 to show, $155,000 to win<\/p>\n

Diego Ferreira<\/a>: $50,000 to show, $50,000 to win<\/p>\n

The salaries for the entire UFC 246 card are expected to come out in the coming days.<\/p>\n
