These 19 UFC fighters drive the sickest cars

The UFC has become a real attraction in recent years, gaining popularity over time. It seems we can't get enough of watching grown men bite each other into pieces - and let it go on for a long time. Fights are great fun to watch, with moments of drama and tension, moments of glory and defeat, and the sheer satisfaction of seeing your guy beat another guy into submission.

There's more to it than just fights - chatter, squabbles, personalities that can be larger than life. We love every part of it and that's why it's such a hit. But with the popularity of any sporting endeavor comes money. From the prize money they win in their fights to sponsorship packages and endorsements, UFC fighters seem to be putting in a lot of money these days. Definitely enough to buy really, really good cars, most of which we are very jealous of.

So what do you drive when you're a UFC fighter? From the looks of it, the man who can punch well enough to get paid for it actually drives a very good selection of motors. Let's see what rides you might see them on if you ever spot them running errands.

19 Ferrari F430 by Josh Koscheck

Josh Koscheck wasn't satisfied with just driving a Ferrari F430. No, it wasn't enough, because other people also have a Ferrari F430, and he didn't want to be nobody. Like many other UFC fighters, he wanted to customize it to make his mark on the machine.

He took it to California Wheels to put on Vellano wheels and blacked out accents.

This is normal for some. Personally, we have to say that it would be enough for us to simply own a Ferrari - any Ferrari, at least for a while. At what point do you have so much money that you get sick of having a regular Ferrari? We're not sure, but would like to know.

18 Rolls Royce Ghost Conor McGregor

What if you have £280,000 lying around that you don't know how to spend? Or more specifically, what would you do if you made that much money and became Conor McGregor? The answer is to get a bespoke Rolls Royce Ghost with your own face adorned on the sides so you can really drive in style. He bought it right before his lightweight title fight with Eddie Alvarez, so maybe it was meant as some kind of ego boost. After the car was delivered, he admitted that he probably has trouble spending money, but he's also obsessed with making it, so it all works out in the end. Well, until he can't fight anymore, and then he might be in trouble.

17 Hummer H2007 SUT 2 years old to Josh Kosheka

For the days when he doesn't want to ride his Ferrari, Josh Koscheck has a second option in his garage. This is his 2007 Hummer H2 SUT, which he also tweaked at California Wheels to make sure both of his cars fit together. It's been completely blacked out and also mounted on huge Dub wheels, making it really look too big. When someone drives a car like this, they better be either a UFC star or a very famous rapper. Otherwise, they will be in line for some taunts. In its current form, no one would dare. Unless, of course, they are also happy to be a UFC fighter and confident that they can win the inevitable conflict.

16 BMW i8 Conor McGregor

How do you show up in court after being caught speeding and then not showing up the first time you were told? Well, if you're Conor McGregor, the answer is: you put on your very best Adidas green tracksuit, hop into your BMW i8, and then race down the road as if demonstrating that even the courts can't hold you back. You really have to admire this guy for his courage in all his moves.

He was fined €400 for driving at 158 ​​km/h in a 100 km/h zone in Dublin.

He was given two months to pay the fine and was warned that he was allowed to pay it in installments if he wished, which apparently caused much laughter in the courtroom.

15 Cain Velasquez' 1971 Ford Torino Cobra

Apparently, Cain Velasquez tries to drive his Ford Torino Cobra at least once a week. It doesn't matter if he takes it to the gym, goes shopping in it, or just goes for a little ride. He's just happy to own it. He grew up in a family that has always owned Ford cars, which motivated him to opt for a classic Ford car when he had the opportunity to afford something more fashionable. He talks about why he likes it: “Everything is original. This is my dream car, so I have to give it 10 points. The first thing that caught my eye was the Coke bottle shape that was popular that year. So style, and of course it's a muscle car with a big engine."

14 Dominic Cruz in a 2012 Nissan GT-R

If you spot Dominic Cruz around San Diego, chances are he's cruising (sorry) in his 2012 Nissan GT-R. This car is special to him because it was a bonus he received when he won his UFC title against Demetrius Johnson. It's more than just a car - it's a coveted trophy that shows him how far he's come.

He preferred this GT-R to other luxury supercars like the Lamborghini that his rivals could drive because, he says, it's a performance car that drives well, not just looks good.

He also likes the fact that he is more exclusive than other models. He checks out from 10 AM to 1 PM for a bit of a ride, off peak times, and occasionally drives to Escondido just to spin the wheels.

13 BMW 760Li Chaka Liddell

You know what they say about BMW drivers, right? Well, just don't say that in front of Chuck Liddell, because that person can rip your arm off right away. The UFC light heavyweight champion drives a 760 BMW 2013Li and says it's the most comfortable ride of his life. On the other hand, it can't compare to his last car before this one, the Ferrari F430. Keep in mind it has many benefits. That's pretty fast for a car that looks boring and it even has TVs in the back as well as massage chairs. He says he would probably have liked a BMW better if he had never driven a Ferrari before, but as a father he had to prioritize comfort.

12 Dominic Cruz '2015 Toyota Tundra Platinum

This automatic transmission car is what Cruz uses when he needs to tow something, which seems to happen quite often. He says that he enjoys walking on the dunes, hiking or carrying things quite often. He also likes the fact that it has plenty of space and is comfortable to drive with leather interior and custom suspension from Toyota Escondido. Cruz actually says it's like riding on a couch, which we have to admit is pretty good advice. It doesn't look too bad from the outside, and a monster truck like this really suits a UFC fighter. In general, if we were a UFC star with too much money lying around, we would probably think about it too.

11 Lamborghini Murcielago by Adam Yandiev

It was Adam Yandiev's Lamborghini Murcielago. Unfortunately, it is not. His mechanic, a 43-year-old man named Dmitry Shcherbatov, was allowed to take the car to a repair shop to have it fixed. Unfortunately, he never made it - instead, he wrapped it around a lamppost, which literally split the car in half. He died instantly, and the passenger escaped from the rubble, but was taken to the hospital in a coma. The lamppost went straight through the driver's side of the car, but it was so large that it crushed the passenger's side as well, leaving very little room for emergency services to retrieve. This is a very good example of how you can't drive in Moscow in a Lamborghini that doesn't even belong to you.

10 Dodge Charger by Anthony Pettis

Anthony Pettis is another UFC fighter who loves cars a lot. He loves his Dodge Charger, which he says is completely unique to his Milwaukee home. It was the first new car he bought, which he thought was of good quality, and since then it has not faded in his affections.

He sent it to Toyo Tires in LA and they refitted everything from the wide body to the air suspension, 22s and new audio system.

It took two months, but now he has a car that suits him perfectly. It's not the only car in his collection, but since we'll look at some of them later, here's a little teaser: he really, really likes the black color.

9 Cadillac Escalade by Anthony Pettis

And that was Anthony's Cadillac Escalade. If you look closely, you can see Dodge on fire along with its black Infiniti G37x sedan. Someone set fire to two of his cars while they were parked in the driveway, and then the flames spread to a third, leaving them in the form of burnt husks. So maybe we were a bit misleading when we said he has a Dodge Charger and a Cadillac Escalade because he no longer has them. Cars were also previously robbed while he was sitting right in the driveway, and it's surprising that he didn't step up his security after that incident. Apparently this was all part of a campaign to delay his next fight. What a waste of some great custom cars.

8 Conor McGregor's Lamborghini Aventador Roadster

Yes, Conor McGregor has a ridiculous amount of insanely expensive cars. Let's just get it out of the way for now. By this point, we have to wonder how many of them he will ever be able to control more than once. Surely he is approaching the “one for each day of the week” mark, if he has not already crossed it?

However, this is his Lamborghini Aventador roadster, which he called a flamethrower.

He is apparently very in love with it and we can't say we blame him. In fact, we feel the same way. It's a pretty nice car. Somehow, he even managed to find a spot to pose with that seems to match the colors and lines. This is an Instagram pro.

7 Cain Velasquez's custom Ford F-150

Another plush car for Cain Velasquez and another custom car put together by California Wheels, which apparently has something of a referral business among UFC fighters. This is his Ford F-150, moderated by this team.

It got a Rolling Big Power grille, suspension lift, and 20-inch Rolling Big Power T904 wheels, and it all adds up to one massive truck that will definitely stop you if you run into it.

At this point, we're starting to think we could give you a list of 40 or more UFC cars tuned in one place, so keep an eye on them. It seems that many players in this sport respect him.

6 Maserati GranTurismo Antonio Silva

When you make a big achievement in your career, it's important that it be recognized. This is exactly what happened to Bigfoot Silva when he managed to knock out Alistair Overeem. He was handed the keys to a brand new Maserati Gran Turismo thanks to his sponsors, Sienna Motors. This is on top of the $50,000 bonus he won for the fight from the UFC. Of course, sponsors may not have been too happy to tie their star to this after he later pulled out of the fight under suspicious circumstances. He was also dropped from the UFC just three years after he was awarded this bonus car. A great start, but not a very elegant end for his time as a UFC fighter.

5 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Conor McGregor

Well, whatever you like about Conor McGregor, he's clearly a Rolls Royce man. While he may dabble in buying other makes, he enjoys showing off the custom and limited edition Rolls he buys. It's actually funny to see him standing next to his entire collection of fancy cars.

The Rolls is a car of the highest class, smooth and refined, and should rightfully be driven by a gentleman in a suit.

Even if the lowered top allows him to drop his tie and unbutton a button or two. However, instead, he is driven by this heavily tattooed guy standing around in shorts and a vest. They may be strange neighbors, but McGregor really likes these cars.

4 Stipe Miocic's Dodge Ram Rebel

When you're a trucker, you're a trucker. Stipe Miocic (a name to spell when you're drunk) loves his Dodge Ram Rebel, which he says is perfect in every way except one: it doesn't have ventilated seats, which means they can get pretty. hot in the summer because of the completely black interior. Outside, it is also all black. More than anything, he loves this truck for the way it looks. The air suspension allows it to be elevated, and the tires are fairly large to make it look as stiff as possible. There's also room for his dogs to sit happily in the back. Apparently, nothing more is needed from his car.

3 Max Holloway's Dodge Daytona

Max Holloway shared this picture of himself with his car, accompanied by a very simple caption: "Dodge". Well, that roughly says everything you need to know. He is clearly very pleased with this choice of car, which, admittedly, has an imposing figure. It may not be a truck like its fellow UFC stars, but it does have a pretty aggressive front end. If you don't know how to drive a truck, then a muscle car should be the next best thing. This Daytona also has yellow and black highlights on the body, as well as tinted windows. However, we cannot forgive this champion for the fact that his Twitter handle is @BlessedMMA. Just use your name like everyone else. We know you are #blessed.

2 Ronda Rousey's Honda Accord LX

It's definitely not the most glamorous car, which is probably why Ronda decided to sell it on eBay. It was close to her heart, because in the days of ruin she slept in it. She affectionately named it The Fonda, but eventually sold it on one condition. The new owner had to take care of it, love it and, uh, not enjoy it every day. Fine. This is one condition that you don't see very often. In the end, the car was worth a lot, because it also came with memorabilia and medals, some of which were literally glued to the car. She even signed it. In the end, it came to $21,300 - the same amount you would pay for a brand new Honda at the time.

1 BMW 730 M Sport by Conor McGregor

Another Conor McGregor car? Oh, then go ahead. He has so many of them that it's hard to keep track of them. Either way, this one just proves that he's capable of buying a normal-shaped car from time to time. He posted it with the hashtag #fiftywhips because why not when you have so many damn cars. If you're wondering what else he owns, some of the cars he's been known to have bought include a Cadillac Escalade, a Rolls Royce Dawn, a green Lamborghini Huracan Avio, a light green Lamborghini Aventador, a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a Mercedes. -Benz S500 and, of course, much more. And you can also hate him even more, if you like, after seeing what his house looks like these days.
