Win or lose, the world is still talking about the UFC's Conor McGregor days after his fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov. This not only has to do with main event fight helping to make UFC 229 such a big financial success but the fact that he launched Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey – one of the main sponsors of UFC 229 – just a few weeks before the event.
A few of the statistics already being reported on Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey:

- Six months worth of product was shipped out within 10 days of launch. The team had bottled what was estimated to be enough for six months of strong sales. McGregor had said it wouldn't be enough and he was right.
