UFC news 2015: Conor McGregor has a weakness

Conor McGregor is undeniably one of the UFC's biggest stars to date and while his earnings are not really known, his latest investments seem to indicate that he does make a lot.

Recent reports do somehow liken him to retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., someone who loves to spend heavily on luxury cars.

McGregor dipped into that confidential bank account of his and reportedly made close to a $450,000 withdrawal. He spent the said amount on two vehicles – a BMW i8 and a Mercedes Benz – to add to his collection of vehicles.

The Notorious apparently has a car collection of his own, something that he spoils himself with if he is not busy taking jabs at rival (like Jose Aldo) or in actual training/fight. Nevertheless, he has earned his keep and now, folks may have an idea of how big a star he is and how much he is actually making from his fights.

His next big event will happen this Dec. 12 when he goes up against bitter enemy Aldo at UFC 194. The fight is something that would have taken place last July at UFC 189 but Aldo was forced to withdraw on account of a rib injury.

McGregor has, of course, developed a knack for hyping himself and the UFC has been benefitting from such as well. And the thought of that alone could spur up the dollars in mind, millions more likely as he is considered one of the company's biggest stars to date.

Could his car collection get a new member after this year? Well, considering he is expected to have another big payday against Aldo, such wouldn't be surprising. And one can just imagine what lush vehicle the Notorious could be eyeing next to add to his growing car collection.
