UFC superstar Conor McGregor was handed his $50,000 bonus for Performance of the Night at UFC 246 in cash by UFC president Dana White.<\/p>\n

McGregor needed just 40 seconds to knock out Donald Cerrone in the main event of UFC 246 to pick up his first win since a November 2016 TKO win over Eddie Alvarez. The UFC awarded McGregor a $50,000 bonus for the knockout win, joining Aleksei Oleinik, Carlos Diego Ferreira, Brian Kelleher, and Drew Dober as bonus winners.<\/p>\n

In the days following the event, photos emerged of McGregor and White drinking Proper No. Twelve whiskey and sharing good times along with former UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta. In a new set of photos released from the meeting, McGregor is seen smiling as he is handed his $50,000 bonus in a bag of cash.<\/p>\n

The Mac Life<\/a> confirmed the money McGregor was given was his bonus money. Take a look at the photos below courtesy of McGregor’s Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
