Shortly after the UFC pulled Joseph Duffy from the show’s main event after suffering a mild concussion during last weekend’s training session at TriStar Gym in Canada, McGregor offered up his services to save the event.
The card is in McGregor’s backyard of Ireland and he already owns a first round TKO over Dustin Poirier, so why not?
“I will give peanut another crack at the King no sweat,” McGregor tweeted. “I’ll take the gate. It’s my gate anyway. A cool 7. Cash. See you at the weigh ins.”
So, a million dollars (seven-figures) is the price tag for McGregor to step into the cage at the last minute to bail the UFC out.
