Conor McGregor's payslips for five of his UFC fights were leaked through the UFC anti-trust case.

Before the case came to an end, a report unsealed in the UFC anti-trust case revealed the paydays for the biggest stars in the MMA promotion between 2011 and 2016.

Naturally, being the biggest name in the company at the time, McGregor featured heavily in the report, with five of his UFC fight purses revealing that he earned a staggering $25 million.

In July 2015, McGregor headlined his first UFC pay-per-view event against Chad Mendes following the withdrawal of Jose Aldo.

He stopped Mendes to win the interim UFC featherweight title and pocketed $3,285,000, which included a discretionary bonus of $2.11 million.

For his high-profile grudge match against Aldo, McGregor earned $4,476,662 or $4,536,932, with the Brazilian earning $2,377,699.

He collected $5,576,315 when he suffered a shock submission defeat to Nate Diaz before bagging $5,615,490 for the rematch, which he won.

Diaz, meanwhile, netted 2,838,158 before bagging $4,315,490 for the second meeting.

McGregor made a swift return to action after avenging his defeat to Diaz by headlining UFC's debut show in New York City, New York, where he fought for the UFC lightweight title.

He stopped Eddie Alvarez in the second round to become a two-weight UFC champion, making $6,812,374 in the process.

Conor McGregor's UFC payslips between 2011 and 2016:

UFC 189: $3,285,000 (includes $2.11M discretionary bonus) vs. Chad Mendes

UFC 194: $4,476,662 or $4,536,932 vs. Jose Aldo ($2,377,699)

UFC 196: $5,576,315 vs. Nate Diaz ($2,838,158)

UFC 202: $5,615,490 vs. Nate Diaz 2 ($4,315,490)

UFC 205: $6,812,374 vs. Eddie Alvarez

McGregor, 36, hasn't fought since his defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in July 2021.

But he is set to return to action next year, with a rumoured clash against Logan Paul in the works.

The bout, which will take place in India, will see both men earn a reported $250 million.
