Conor McGregor breaks a $21 million UFC record ahead of his first fight in five years

It was announced on Thursday that Conor McGregor is the proud owner of one other UFC record.

‘Notorious’ got here along with Max Holloway for a press conference ahead of their rematch at UFC 329.

UFC CEO Dana White revealed that the event has broken a serious record 48 hours before its start time.

Can Conor McGregor 🇮🇪 overcome a five-year layoff to beat Max Holloway again?

UFC 329 sets a brand new gate record

Dana White was asked what’s different about this Conor McGregor fight week in comparison with the others.

The MMA mogul focused on the financials as he happily answered the press conference query.

“Biggest gate in UFC history,” White boasted.

The record-breaking revelation was met by huge cheers from those contained in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“Thanks to the fans. Thanks to our fans,” McGregor shouted above the gang noise.

White didn’t say exactly how big the gate was, but based on past events, we all know that it’s over $22 million.

Outside of the highest two fights, who will steal the show at UFC 329?

What are the highest five UFC gates of all time?

Conor McGregor set a brand new UFC gate record when he fought Eddie Alvarez in November 2016.

Eight years later, it was broken when MMA’s premier promotion hosted an event on the Las Vegas Sphere.

The cardboard headlined by Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili made an enormous $21.83 million in ticket sales.

UFC 329 has outdone that number, but we won’t know by how much until after the event takes place.
