Rousey is WAAAAYYY more famous than McGregor, always has been and always will be. Even in Ireland, and definitely world wide.
Idk who's more famous between Jon Jones and Conor McGregor, but if Conor's claim that all of Ireland knows him is true (doubtful) that means the fans he turned actual MMA fans know who Jon Jones is too.
Pretty sure Jon Jones is pretty famous, but he isn't more famous than Rousey. He did get loads of coverage for the Jones & Gus rematch build up, and Jones vs DC build up, there was also the Nike popularity spike he went through, and the Reebok commercial and all that. Then his scandals happened, and that probably made him more famous (in a notorious sense) too.
I'm pretty sure according to Google Trend, Conor still isn't famous. I can't remember if I saw that before his Mendes fight, or after.
If Conor finally outsold either of those two with his last fight, it would be Jon Jones and not by much either.
