McGregor cited the reason for low fees in the UFC

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

"The UFC is a key platform in the career for any fighter. Being in the UFC is prestigious in itself, so you have to realize that you can settle for a lower amount here compared to the fees offered by other leagues in the market. 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.
