Conor was renting the villa in November and it boasted an infinity pool and cinema room for guests. 

It comes after Conor made his highly-anticipated comeback in a lightweight clash against Dustin Poirier, with hopes that a win would act as a springboard for a run at the title he won in 2016.

However, Conor fell flat at the first hurdle with Poirier exacting revenge over his 2014 defeat by the Notorious, knocking the former two-weight world champion out in the second round.

And according to The National News, the UFC recorded 1.6m pay-per-view purchases for the event from Fight Island, with 1.2m buys in the United States and 400,000 internationally.

That figure ranks as the third-highest grossing PPV in the history of the sport, and betters any other event in the last year, including Conor’s UFC 246 bout with Donald Cerrone last January.

Conor now occupies the top three places for pay-per-views in UFC history, with his grudge match with Khabib Nurmagomedov topping the list at 2.4m buys, while his rematch with Nate Diaz got 1.65m buys.
