UFC'S biggest name Conor McGregor is set to pocket more money in 2020 than any other previous year.

The Notorious is making his highly-anticipated comeback on January 18 when he takes on Donald Cerrone – 15 months after his loss against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

McGregor is likely to brush aside the American to set up a BMF title fight with Jorge Masvidal later on in the year.

UFC president Dana White even suggested McGregor "wants to fight three times" by also revenging his loss to the Russian Nurmagomedov.

Despite laying low over the last year, Forbes write how 2020 could be McGregor's most profitable yet when it comes to UFC.

They claim he pocketed at least £5.85million from fight purses in 2016 following scraps with Nate Diaz twice and Eddie Alvarez.

But he is braced to exceed 'far more than £7.8m' from fight purses in the coming year with fans eager to see his comeback into the Octagon.
