10 Most Expensive Cars Driven by UFC Stars

Professional athletes are well known for dropping huge amounts of cash on lavish luxury cars, high-powered sports cars, and customized creations to add to their stable of vehicles, and UFC fighters are certainly no different. Much like the variety of personalities accompanying these highly recognizable mixed martial artists, their vehicle choices range from luxurious grand touring to white-knuckle performance examples that run well into six-figure territory.

UFC President Dana White has received a considerable amount of scrutiny over fighter pay in recent years, but for those who have managed to earn a UFC title or establish a noteworthy persona both in the octagon and on the microphone, their newfound financial situation allows them the ability to take hold of their dream cars.

Here’s a look at some of the jaw-dropping prices of the most interesting and expensive vehicles owned by current and former male UFC fighters, but don’t blink, as new cars often come and go quickly with this group of modern-day warriors.

HotCars looked at UFC fighters and their car collections to find the most expensive cars they own according to the models’ average values as per classic.com. Only cars valued at $150,000 were included in this list. All of the cars are ranked from least to most expensive.

10 Conor McGregor’s 2021 Bentley Continental GT: $177,000

Specifications

(Specs: Bentley)

Arguably the biggest name in combat sports, Conor McGregor, who earned 180 million dollars in 2021 and landed on Forbes’ highest-paid athletes list, has no shortage of funds for his extravagant rides. Although he’s known for having a penchant for Lamborghini with a series of cars from the Italian automaker, as well as spending time on his 4 million dollar Tocnomar for Lamborghini yacht that he applied an exclusive touch to, he likes the appeal of the muscular Bentley Continental GT.

The silky smooth 542 hp V8 GT complete with its drop-top is more than adequate for the Notorious one to take in the landscape as he prepares for his upcoming, though slightly delayed (due to injury) comeback match with slugger Michael Chandler.

9 Islam Makhachev’s 2023 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG: $201,689

Specifications

The current king of the UFC’s Lightweight division is Dagestani fighter Islam Makhachev, who suffered his only loss in the UFC almost a decade ago and has since gone on a tear, winning 14 fights in a row, including three title defenses. Going from virtual obscurity as a fighter to becoming the reigning champion has its perks, especially when you take home multiple Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night bonuses.

Some of that money likely went toward the purchase of Makhachev’s Mercedes-Benz AMG G63. The torque-laden, boxy-shaped brute is as much a capable off-road performer as it is a stylish, rolling status symbol and one that the champ has been spotted in regularly.

8 Israel Adesanya’s 2019 McLaren 720S Spider: $212,933

Specifications

With a nickname like “Stylebender” and a reputation for being outspoken before and after his often incredible performances inside the octagon, it’s really no surprise that Israel Adesanya’s car collection is as wild and flamboyant as he is. The former Middleweight division champion, well known for producing flashy, B-boy-inspired dance moves on his way to the octagon before many of his matches, has also been busy building a stable of high-end vehicles.

One of those choices is Mclaren’s potent 720S Spider which set Adesanya back well over $200,000. If you’ve got that sort of money, you too can command over 700 hp from the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that sends a rush of power through a 7-speed Seamless Shift Gearbox. To further separate his 720S from any others, Adesanya recently had his car vinyl wrapped in a wild anime-inspired livery.

7 Charles Oliveira’s 2023 Ferrari Portofino: $245,000

Specifications

(Specs: Ferrari)

Fourteen years ago, Charles Oliveira, or “Do Bronx,” as he’s known (a nod to growing up in the favelas of Brazil), made a triumphant UFC debut after stacking up an impressive series of wins outside the promotion. By 2022, he’d earned numerous wins over notable competition and even won and defended the UFC’s Lightweight Championship while racking up a laundry list of Performance and Fight of the Night honors and paid bonuses.

The slick, third-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt is svelte and powerful, just like his feature-packed 600+ hp, twin-turbo Ferrari Portofino. Refined and efficient, just like Oliveira, the topless Portofino offers a powerful punch wrapped up in a unique, luxurious grand touring feel.

He’s known both for his incredible submission skills and his huge, infectious smile that couldn’t be any bigger than when he’s behind the wheel of his prized Ferrari.

6 Suga Sean O’Malley’s 2023 Lamborghini Huracán: $295,000

Specifications

(Specs: Lamborghini)

At the very top of the UFC’s Bantamweight division sits “Suga” Sean O’Malley, a brash, colorful fighter who made a name for himself with a devastating knock-out in Legacy Fighting Alliance, and the UFC took notice. Bringing him into the fold via the second season of Dana White’s Contender Series, Suga would go on to find success, earning a UFC contract and eventually winning the Bantamweight title which he recently defended against a previous loss.

Winner of six Performance of the Night bonuses, co-host of a popular podcast, and a thriving social media following, his exploits in and out of the octagon continue to generate revenue for the champion. And based on his personality and his current division dominance, an almost $300,000 Lamborghini powered by a very special, naturally aspirated V10 with 630 hp should come as no surprise.

Though the Lamborghini Huracán can be had in some outrageous colors, none satisfied the fighter, so he took it upon himself to have his car wrapped in a hot pink and green body treatment with lime green wheels, similar to the clothing he often wears and his signature hairstyle on fight night.

5 Kamaru Usman’s Rolls-Royce Ghost – $315,000

Specifications

Though he’s hit a skid in recent years that included the loss of his Welterweight championship belt and follow-up rematch, Kamaru Usman experienced a 15-fight win streak on his way to capturing the title. During that meteoric rise, he put together a collection of vehicles and this Rolls-Royce Ghost is one of the most interesting.

The big-body land yacht is no slouch, motivated by over 600 lb-ft. of torque from its big 6.6-liter, 12-cylinder engine. Inside, all the lavish creature comforts and high-quality materials you’d expect from the British specialist are at play.

4 Francis Ngannou’s Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII: $372,152

Specifications

(Specs: Rolls-Royce)

Few rags-to-riches stories are as turbulent and enthralling as the journey that surrounds former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngonnou. Having grown up in poverty in Cameroon where he worked in a sand quarry, he went on to find his way to boxing and landed in France, before later moving into MMA training with various fights that preceded his 2015 UFC debut.

Amassing six straight wins before a two-fight skid, he’d go on to win his next six fights, procure the Heavyweight Championship, and defend and unify the belt before contract negotiations soured. He moved on from the UFC, finding himself in high-profile professional boxing matches that are said to have paid far more than his MMA days.

Finding a whole new level of financial success, far removed from his days in the sand quarry, Ngannou has added multiple vehicles to his burgeoning collection, and, like Usman, chose a luxurious chariot in this pricey Rolls-Royce Phantom valued at well over $350,000. The custom, comfortable icon is the perfect vessel for the former champion to travel in style with its ultra-spacious interior which caters to his six-foot-four, 250-pound frame at a level that few other vehicles on the road could hope to match.

3 Derrick Lewis’ 2019 Twin-turbo Lamborghini Huracán: $418,000

Specifications

(Specs: Lamborghini)

Derrick Lewis, aka “the Black Beast,” remains an undeniable fan favorite whether he’s on the winning or losing side of his almost 30 fights in the UFC. Some of that is due to his remarkable punching power and the dramatic endings to some of his more memorable battles, but it’s his commentary after those fights that’s helped spawn a media darling.

The slow drawl and almost boyish chuckle that emanates from Lewis on most occasions is completely lost when he’s at full throttle in his V10-powered Lamborghini Huracán – a vehicle that every driving enthusiast should consider, and one that got him into some trouble with the law in October of last year as he ran well past the posted 50mph speed limit on his way to over 130 mph. Spirited sprints in the supercar are impossible to ignore, especially with the pair of turbos that were added to the already powerful V10.

2 Aljimain Sterling’s Lamborghini Huracán – $650,000

Specifications

(Specs: Lamborghini)

“The Funkmaster,” Aljamain Sterling, likes a flashy car and plenty of horsepower, but the way he and his Huracan came together is an interesting story steeped in controversy. The former Bantamweight champion announced via his social media that he received this car as a gift from UFC President Dana White. This, after a highly-publicized feud between the two heated up. Officially settled, Sterling posted his new pride and joy and thanked White for the “generous gift.” Not long after, rival Bantamweight and current champion, Sean O’Malley, was quick to dispute Sterling’s suggestion.

As if a Lamborghini and its high-strung V10 weren’t attention-grabbing enough, this one sports eye-searing Mega Green paint and is impossible to ignore.

1 Kamzat Chimaev’s 2015 Mercedes-AMG G63 6×6: $751,652

Specifications

(Specs: Mercedes-Benz USA)

Maintaining an undefeated record in the world of MMA is rare, and doing so within the upper echelon of competition in the UFC is almost unheard of. Kamzat Chimaev, a freestyle wrestling specialist who has developed an incredibly well-rounded set of skills, has managed to remain undefeated in thirteen professional appearances, seven of which took place in the UFC and of which only two have gone the distance.

Destined to make his way to the title in the Middleweight division, he’s already collecting some interesting toys with multiple performance bonuses undoubtedly helping to foot the bill. His AMG G63, a vehicle beloved by millionaires, is armed with over 500 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque, is a good example of that assumption. Valued at more than $750,000, the rare, attention-grabbing six-wheeled custom is guaranteed to grab the eyes of bystanders anytime the future champ is behind the wheel.
