News about Eddie Alvarez

UFC Chief Executive Dana White has stated Conor McGregor's long-awaited comeback fight against Michael Chandler has already a live gate of '$20 million', the biggest in the company's history. McGregor, 35, is set for his return to the octagon at UFC 303 on June 29 in Las Vegas, just under three years since his last fight, where he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier. The Irish fighting star has always been a source of financial gain for the UFC, his fight with Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 holds the company's current all-time live gate record, it pulled in $17.7 million. However, it seems that record has already been obliterated, and the fight is still six weeks away.

945 days have passed since the war began. That's how long it's been since Conor McGregor appeared in the UFC octagon for the first time. Few may have predicted that after he put on one of the best championship fight displays against Eddie Alvarez in 2016, he would win just one more fight in the seven years that followed. But that is not the situation in which the Irish superstar finds himself today. McGregor the celebrity continues to grow, with McGregor the fighter drifting ever farther into the background.

A horrific snapshot depicts Eddie Alvarez' horrific eye injury in his match with Mike Perry. Over the weekend, the two headlined a much-anticipated Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship card in Salt Lake City. Both fighters charged adamantly in the first round, with the pair striking a tumultuous combination. Perry, a former UFC welterweight champion, took over the second round, landing multiple power strikes to Alvarez's head.

According to an expert report that will be used in the UFC antitrust lawsuit, Conor McGregor earned more than he expected for his fights between July 2015 and November 2016. The lawsuit is set to start in next month, and the defense lawyers for Zuffa have drafted a report to counter the group of fighters suing the UFC for anti-competitive business activity between 2011 and 2016. Part of the analysis has examined closely at the paychecks of some of UFC's top players during this period, and it has brought the sums of money earned by McGregor for five straight fights into focus.

Dana White has maintained that he did not object with Conor McGregor's appearance at a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship game, as well as joked that the Irishman was 'pounding a bottle of Proper 12'. When asked if he regretted McGregor's attention to a rival fight promotion, the 'Notorious' even stepped into the ring at the end of last month to face Mike Perry. Chad Mendes and Eddie Alvarez, former UFC opponents, also carried a BKFC belt and yelled orders to former UFC rivals Chad Mendes and Eddie Alvarez.

Conor McGregor's lavish lifestyle is for all to see on social media, but the MMA sensation is still some distance away from his goal of becoming a 'dollar billionaire.' The net worth of the Irish MMA fighter is expected to be around £160 million, and it's easy to see that he knows how to invest his money. The Rolls Royce Ghost, which is worth $280,000, includes a portrait of himself with his moniker 'Notorious' on the front of the vehicle. Rolls Royce gave the incredible matt black motor to him as a gift ahead of his New York showdown with Eddie Alvarez in 2016 at UFC 205. He is also said to own a Rolls Royce Wraith, a Rolls Royce Dawn (£285,000) and Rolls Royce Phantom VIII (£340,000).

According to UFC star Sean O'Malley, Conor McGregor is the GOAT of MMA who has 'taken the game to a different level.' McGregor, the former world champion who lost to Dustin Poirer for the second time last summer, has won the undisputed featherweight belt against Jose Aldo in 2015 before becoming the lightweight champion in a year later by defeating Eddie Alvarez. Though the Irishman has been unable to recover his form from his youth, American bantamweight O'Malley believes he should still be regarded as the best to have competed in the sport when it comes to entertainment value.
