Conor McGregor boasts about wealth while smoking in Rolls Royce

Conor McGregor has boasted he is more wealthy than the entire UFC roster, while smoking in a Rolls Royce.

The Irish star is continuing his recovery from a broken leg injury, sustained during a tough second defeat to Dustin Poirier.

He has been touring America recently, looking to enjoy his luxury lifestyle during his time away from fighting action.

And he has now made another boast on social media, claiming he is the richest UFC fighter with pictures of him smoking in his Rolls Royce.

McGregor posted on Instagram : "I’m richer than the whole roster b****, I’m Rick Ross. Rolling around Miami, UFC's richest ever in history. Just wow. Pinch me I’m powerful. Rolls Royce Miami. The key to the city to start. Proper Mondays grinding."

The 33-year-old has been across the pond with his fiancee Dee Devlin and three children, as he continues to relax after injury.

And his wealth took another boost, after he revealed the pay-per-view figures for his latest match-up with Poirier.

It placed within the highest-grossing UFC pay-per-view events of all time with an exact figure of 1,504,737 in fourth place.

His historic clash with Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 currently holds the No.1 spot with a massive 2.4 million buys.

But for all of his wealth, McGregor has faced heavy criticism for his outside-of-the-cage antics.

And he has been warned by Michael Bisping that having money has turned him into a "c***".

Bisping told ' True Geordie ': "If you wanna talk about someone who's out of f****** control, Conor McGregor. He's still got legions of f****** fans. It's gotten worse, it's got no better. Ego's out of f****** control.

"Money doesn't make you a man, it just exposes what a c*** you are, but at the end of the day people will tune in to see him fight inside the octagon."

The former double-champion has also been involved in an array of social media spats including with former rival Nurmagomedov.

He aimed a whole host of since-deleted tweets at the Russian, including a post aimed at his late father.

And the retired UFC star has since responded with a lengthy rant which labelled the Irishman "dirty".

"When he talked about this, only evil can talk about your father, wife, kids, religion,” Nurmagomedov said on Mike Tyson's Hotboxin' podcast.

"If you’re normal human, you’re never going to talk about this stuff. For me, I think he post this tweet (while) drunk too much or something.

"Then the next day, he always delete these tweets. When he become normal life (he looks at his phone) and says, ‘Oh, look what I did.’ Then he delete. This is my opinion what he do all the time.

“When someone is not with us – he is not even alive – this shows what you have inside. This shows how dirty you are."

McGregor could now face a return to the UFC next year, with Nate Diaz rumoured to be his next opponent in yet another trilogy.
