Conor McGregor is set to a pocket a purse of €4.5million from his UFC return fight against Donald Cerrone.
The Notorious faces 'Cowboy' in his first bout in over 15 months on January 18 in Las Vegas and is set to earn his biggest ever purse for doing so.
Speaking ahead of the fight, McGregor told Ariel Helwani: "I'm happy to come back and have my comeback fight and the beginning of my season against Donald and I look forward to it.
"It's going to be a good night and I'm going to shine here on January 18th.
"I'm going to create magic inside the Octagon like I have done many times before but this is going to be something special.
"It's an exciting bout, it's a fan friendly bout, it's a fight that excites me and it's fight that I said I'd partake.
"I appreciate Donald, I have to say. He's fought a lot of times since the last time I saw him at the Aldo press conference many, many years ago.
"He's gone on and fought so many times, he's a family man with his grandmother and these things I appreciate that and respect that.
"I look forward to having a good bout and I know you're not interested in that but for me in this part of my life that is the right way to go about it."
