The Notorious Mysterious Conor McGregor.

The Dubliner left his fans scratching their heads with the vaguest of vague tweets this morning.

We were left baffled too and after scratching off a number of possibilities as to what on earth the interim featherweight champion could be talking about - including a reference to S Club 7, being a huge fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and mocking the number of UFC fights that Jose Aldo has under his belt, we think it comes down to money.

McGregor reportedly made $500,000 for fighting Chad Mendes at UFC 189 but would have come out with much more with his performance bonus and sponsorship money.

@TheNotoriousMMA can I have some money?

As his fans clamoured to make sense of the riddle, the Dubliner eased the confusion with another five word puzzle, this one slightly less perplexing.

8 figures a knock, thanks. — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) July 30, 2015

After much deliberation around the office, we've arrived at the conclusion that this suggests that McGregor is expecting the UFC to start offering him $10,000,000 from here on out which would be an unprecedented purse. Dana White has revealed in the past that the highest ever single payout to a fighter was $5 million but now that the UFC are making more money than ever, it doesn't seem like the most far-fetched notion to see McGregor receive eight figures.
