He was able to double this worth from his various business ventures like his Proper 12 Whiskey and stout brand. McGregor never needs to fight again, but his fans would love to see him mix it up again.
Khabib Nurmagomedov($40 Million)
Next on the list at #2 on the list of the top five richest UFC fighters is Khabib Nurmagomedov. The undefeated legend was one of the greatest fighters who ever stepped inside the octagon.
As Khabib’s mystique grew, he went to battle with Conor McGregor in a record breaking event. Nurmagomedov not only walked out the champion, but was also incredibly wealthy.
The Dagastani champion defended his title a few more times and increased his net worth to $40 million.
Brock Lesnar($20 Million)
At #3 on the list of the top five richest UFC fighters is former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. Brock had already earned a lot of wealth from working in professional wrestling, but doubled it in the cage.
From the beginning, Lesnar was a huge draw and earned millions every time he fought. The multi-time WWE champion also went back-and-forth to wrestling and the big money never stopped coming in.
After a solid career as a pro wrestler and fighter, Lesnar has an estimated net worth of $20 million.
Georges St Pierre($20 Million)
UFC legend Georges St Pierre comes in next at 3rd on the list of the top five richest UFC fighters. For years, GSP was one of the biggest drawing champions in the sport.
At Pierre’s peak, he earned over a million per fight and huge endorsement deals before the Venum/Reebok deals. GSP has continued doing well for himself and has earned parts in various films and tv shows.
The 3x UFC champion now has an estimated wealth of around $20 million.
Francis Ngannou($15 Million)
At five on the list of the richest UFC fighters is former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou. Now, to be fair, Francis earned much of his wealth after his UFC departure from boxing.
However, without his time in the UFC, Francis wouldn’t have had the opportunity to become incredibly wealthy. Before his last fight with Anthony Joshua, Francis had an estimated net worth of $15 million.
After that fight, Ngannou could have easily doubled his whole net worth.
