"Can't wait to spend some of his money," she said.

Her joke went down a treat, leaving the UFC champion to dampen his mother's spirits somewhat.

"Relax now Ma!" He responded.

McGregor ensured he was surrounded by family in the aftermath of the mega-fight.

His partner Dee Devlin shared a heartfelt image of the happy group to Instagram.



"Team McGregor all day every day," the caption reads.
