Victory in the octagon is all important for MMA fighters, but of course their efforts come with financial rewards.
Here's how much Conor McGregor and the other Irish fighters earned at Saturday's UFC 189 in Las Vegas as reported by MMA Fighting.com:
Conor McGregor $500K (beat Chad Mendes)
Cathal Pendred $10K (defeated by John Howard)
Neil Seery $15K (defeated by Louis Smolka)
Gunnar Nelson* $58K (beat Brandon Thatch)
However, this is not the figure that these fighters will necessarily take home as it does not include other aspects like sponsorship and pay-per-view.
*Nelson is from Iceland but trains with SBG Ireland
