Conor McGregor is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. The former UFC champion recently went viral for his sneaker-shopping video. The Irishman stumbled upon a rare pair of shoes while out shopping with Jake Gyllenhaal. But their eye-watering $35,000 price tag left his co-star in disbelief.

McGregor was browsing kicks with Road House co-star Jake Gyllenhaal in NYC. They came across the Nike MAG sneakers at Stadium Goods. These were the official self-lacing shoes from Back to the Future II. Gyllenhaal was understandably taken aback upon seeing the hefty price. His jaw dropped as the figure registered. Conor McGregor, however, remained completely unfazed. He joked as he told Gyllenhaal to take it.

McGregor’s we­alth meant the price tag was insignificant. The­ MMA fighter boasted of unprece­dented earnings for an acting novice­, exceeding The­ Rock’s record. Yet $35,000 remained a substantial sum, even for a wealthy individual like him – no small amount for footwe­ar! Most would protest such an exorbitant cost.

Howeve­r, ‘The Notorious‘ maintained his characteristic nonchalance­ and indifference. Rathe­r than recoiling, he see­med genuinely fascinate­d by the sneakers. Ultimate­ly, he “settled” for a $24,000 shoe­-shopping binge, a still staggering sum, though modest compare­d to the prized MAGs.

McGregor was seen putting in serious work. He uploaded pictures of sparring with combinations and displayed his insane flexibility. The Irishman also uploaded pictures of him wrestling with his sparring partner. He looked focused and determined to secure a massive comeback win. McGregor was recovering from the horrific leg injury he suffered against Dustin Poirier. But he appeared to be moving very well and explosive again. His powerful kicks and combinations could spell trouble for Chandler.

McGregor versus Chandler brewed as a potential fight for months. It would mark the Irishman’s first contest since his leg break in 2021. Both men are aiming to re-enter the title picture eventually. A victory in this matchup would mark a major stepping stone. The Notorious’s commitment was never questioned when preparing. This latest training video only confirms he will prepare his best.
