Conor McGregor continues to be very good for the UFC’s bottom line, as it’s being reported that UFC 246 set a record for streaming, pay-per-view buys.

UFC 246 featured the return of McGregor, who quickly stopped Donald Cerrone in the January 18th card’s main event. According to recent report from MMA Fighting, Disney’s CEO Robert Iger recently said that UFC 246 sold approximately one million pay-per-view buys on the ESPN + streaming service. No other event is believed to have sold that many PPV views to date on the streaming service.

Iger also reported that ESPN + now has 7.6 million subscribers, which is a one million subscriber increase from December.
