I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar is what I need.

It was a great night for the Irish fighters at UFC Fight Night in Boston as Conor McGregor, Cathal Pendred and Paddy Holohan all had their hand raised at the TD Gardens.

The amount of money paid to each fighter has been released to MMAFighting.com by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission and it makes for interesting reading.

The fight fee plus win bonuses are below, and as you can see, The Notorious pocketed the a pretty penny.
