Celebrating a three-year work anniversary by flaunting your earnings for all to see.

Conor McGregor made his UFC debut, against Marcus Brimage, three years and a day ago. On Wednesday night, 'The Notorious' marked the date with a reminder to all that he is still the king-maker. Many suspected the Dubliner would recede into his shell after tapping out to Nate Diaz at UFc 196. There's just one problem: McGregor doesn't do shells. https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/717822991875317760 McGregor is being typically verbose but he has a point.

By headlining major events, McGregor has helped breach attendance and pay-per-view records for the promotion. With a cock-sure statement like McGregor's, there were always going to be some UFC fighters out there that reacted. Rory MacDonald took the tweet in good humour. https://twitter.com/rory_macdonald/status/717828610900541440 https://twitter.com/RothwellFighter/status/717830769067077632 Light heavyweight Ilir Latifi also made his debut at that UFC event, in Iceland, and shared McGregor some love. https://twitter.com/Latifimma/status/717937576674459648 Former UFC fighter Nathan Quarry took a serious tone but no McGregor retweet has been forthcoming. https://twitter.com/NateRockQuarry/status/717835798511390720 Aside from that, this image featured prominently in the hundreds and hundreds of fan replies: https://twitter.com/REALMIKEM00RE/status/717825681623638016 This, however, was our favourite response: McGregor response
