In recent years, MMA has surpassed boxing in popularity, and the fighters' net worths are beginning to reflect this. People can't get enough of skilled MMA fighters trading punches inside the fabled Octagon. The egotistical fighters square off against one another, trash talk each other in press conferences, and take jabs inside the ring. The raw drama and suspense, the nail-biting kos, the glory of success, and the pain of failure all contribute to a top-tier entertainment presentation.
Without a question, the world's most popular UFC fighters walk away with a large sum of money. Luxurious fur coats aren't the only type of depreciating-value item that celebrities like to buy. With their larger-than-life reputations, it's no surprise that UFC fighters spend their money on the most insane automobile available.
With that kind of money comes the chance to have your dream car, which is precisely what these MMA fighters have chosen. Here are just a few of the vehicles they've driven, ranging from Conor McGregor's £3 million fleets to former women's champion Ronda Rousey's modest Honda Accord. Have you ever wondered how much your favorite UFC fighters spend on cars? Let's have a look.
