The top 10, which White said he was not aware of until a reporter read him the list, did not surprise the UFC president. Only three of McGregor’s fights were on FightPass at the time of the counting since UFC 178 was not up because of a pay-per-view hold. Two of those three made the list.

“I’ve been telling everyone this, but maybe this will give me evidence to back up what I’ve been saying, and that is that Conor McGregor is a huge star,” White said. “People are interested in what he’s doing, they want to see him fight and they’re going to FightPass to check him out.”
