Conor McGregor has congratulated Israel Adesanya on his win over Robert Whittaker and for becoming the second-highest-paid athlete in UFC

Conor McGregor went on to congratulate both Israel Adesanya and Paradigm Sports Management company for their recent accomplishments.

McGregor tweeted:

“Congrats Paradigm Sports Management Agency! Number 1 and 2 highest paid on the ufc roster contractually. Myself and Izzy. An excellent feather in the cap of an amazing sports agency. @ParadigmSports! Congrats to all my team and a big congrats last night Israel.”

To this tweet, Israel Adesanya funnily replied in a way that he was trying to prove that he had no money.

“Don’t come asking me for nuffin’!! I don’t have it…#whatmoney ?!?!”

This is not the first time where Conor has said something about Adesanya and the middleweight champ replying to it.

Conor McGregor and Israel Adesanya are represented by the same management

Both McGregor and Adesanya are being managed by the same sports management company. Paradigm Sports is an athlete management brand. They manage various UFC athletes apart from Conor McGregor and Israel Adesanya.

The organisation also manages players from other fields as well. It seems that they have been doing a great job in bringing mutual benefits to the athletes as well as their own organisation. Need not search for better publicity than having the two highest-paid athletes in UFC in their roaster.

At the current moment, Conor is keeping his fans guessing about his next fight and his weight class with his physique updates. On the other hand, Adesanya had defeated Robert Whittaker in UFC 271 and is on his way to becoming the face of UFC.
