UFC welterweight Stephen Thompson has conceded Conor McGregor's life of fame and fortune must be "tiring".
McGregor is considered the poster boy of the UFC and has generated the most revenue in the promotion's history. He earned a whopping $180million last year, making him the richest sportsperson in 2021, despite suffering back-to-back defeats against Dustin Poirier.
And Thompson has sympathy for McGregor's lack of privacy during his time in the limelight, and believes it must have an impact on his family life. "I'm not even on his level and I can enjoy my day but when it comes to that it has got to be tiring," Thompson said on his YouTube channel. "Especially having and trying to have a family. On top of that, privacy for your kids, privacy for your honey.
