McGregor wants to make what he describes as the final bout of
his
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract a record-breaking
spectacle.
Saul „Canelo“ Alvarez reclaimed the WBC super middleweight title
with a unanimous decision win over Christian Mbilli on Saturday in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. McGregor subsequently questioned the event’s
viewership, attendance and gate receipts. The former two-division
UFC champion claimed he could outsell other combat sports stars
without even trying.

Conor McGregor vows to break his own records in final fight of
UFC contract
McGregor touted the commercial success of his latest appearance and
vowed to make a greater promotional effort for his next Octagon
outing.
“How many views did the Canelo fight get?” McGregor wrote on X.
“How many in attendance? Gate? Man, I outdo ALL of these people in
sales. Majorly. EVERY SINGLE ONE. With ease. Maybe even combined. I
don’t even be trying. I was on the same time as the World Cup
semifinal and still done all them numbers in that last bullsh*t
that I’ve to sit with for another few months before I return. I’m
going to actually try to sell the fight for my next one. My final
fight. See what numbers I can generate. Keep outdoing my own
records.”
McGregor (22-7) remains one of the biggest commercial draws in
mixed martial arts history. “The Notorious” returned after a
five-year hiatus to face Max
Holloway in July, but suffered a knee injury while throwing his
opening kick and lost by technical knockout after 69 seconds.
