McGregor cited the reason for low fees in the UFC

Former UFC champion in two weight classes Conor McGregor commented on fighters' complaints about being underpaid in the promotion.

"The UFC is a key platform in any fighter's career. Being in the UFC is prestigious in itself, so you have to realize that you can accept a lower amount of money here compared to the fees that other leagues in the market are offering. That's the value of the UFC brand, it carries a huge amount of weight. Look at how this mechanism has worked for me. It has helped me to reach other levels where I have had great success," - quotes McGregor Irish Mirror.

Recall that 35-year-old McGregor has not competed since 2021, when he lost by technical knockout to Dustin Puryear.
