Conor McGregor admits money’s the only thing pretty about the UFC

Tom Victor

You can never accuse Conor McGregor of lacking honesty.

‘The Notorious’ is probably the biggest name in the UFC and will potentially become the first to simultaneously hold two belts in the promotion.

But, rather than trot out the party line every living second, the Irishman has admitted the generous pay is the only ‘pretty’ thing about his career.

McGregor is thought to be in line for a seven-figure payout for his superfight against Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC 196, but the road to that particular bout is going to be tough.

Dos Anjos might anticipate an “easy” fight for the lightweight belt, but his opponent is doing all he can to make things tough.

McGregor was spotted doing some fearsome combo drills in training, and we’re sure that’s only the beginning.
