Conor McGregor, the biggest superstar in UFC history, recently made a bold claim about his legacy in the promotion, asserting that he has outsold UFC 100 and holds eight out of the top ten spots for pay-per-view buys. In a tweet, McGregor confidently stated, “7 out of 10 highest ppv’s, NO! I have 8 of the highest! I outsold UFC 100! I have the documentation to prove it. By end of my contract I will hold the entire top 10.”

Conor McGregor’s Bold Claim
McGregor’s claim has sparked a lot of excitement and debate among fans and analysts alike. UFC 100, which featured memorable performances from Brock Lesnar, Georges St-Pierre, and Dan Henderson, was the promotion’s biggest card to date when it took place in July 2009. However, McGregor is convinced that his fight with Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 did even better in terms of pay-per-view buys.
The Irishman has been out of action for over three years due to injuries, but he is planning a big return in 2025. With just two fights left on his current contract, McGregor is determined to make his mark and potentially hold all top ten spots for pay-per-view buys by the end of his contract.
McGregor’s confidence and ambition have always been part of his persona, and his recent claim is no exception. Fans eagerly await his return to the octagon and are curious to see if he can achieve his goal before his contract expires.
