In his second UFC headliner and in a fight that eventually earned him a title shot, UFC Fight Night 59’s Conor McGregor earned an event-high disclosed payday of $170,000, including an $85,000 win bonus. MMAjunkie today obtained the list of disclosed paydays from the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission. UFC Fight Night 59 took place this past Sunday, Jan. 18, at Boston’s TD Garden. The bulk of the card, including McGregor’s second-round win over fellow featherweight Dennis Siver (who earned $39,000), aired on FOX Sports 1 following a pair of UFC Fight Pass prelims.
