There are countless firsts in the UFC, but no one has accomplished more groundbreaking feats than Conor McGregor. McGregor has continually pushed boundaries in the sports world from being the first fighter to hold championships in two weight divisions simultaneously to raking in $100 million from a single boxing match. Now, it seems he’s preparing to elevate his influence even further, as he’s hinted at the possibility of running for the presidency of Ireland. What’s even more interesting is that the controversial influencer Andrew Tate liked this idea and supported it.
Recently, in his X post, McGregor claimed that as President, he could control the government, promising to hold corrupt officials accountable and protect the interests of Ireland’s people and small businesses. And it’s not the first time that he talked about running for the presidency.
Meanwhile, replying to McGregor’s X post, Tate has also shown him support, like many others. After all the talks, ‘Top G,’ referring to his Irish roots, said his grandfather was from Limerick and that he has an Irish passport. He promised to vote for McGregor, urging quick action before it’s too late.
Indeed, in sporting terms, McGregor has outdone himself, but leading a country requires entirely different skills and an abundance of knowledge. While he might be excited about the idea, having the support of a Tate brother could actually hurt his chances, given that they are so controversial.
Things Conor McGregor Achieved Outside UFC
As mentioned earlier, what sets the Irishman apart from other fighters is his ability to succeed in whatever he takes on. One thing that stands out is his success in business, which has worked out tremendously for him. From owning the Proper 12 whiskey brand to running clubs and bars in Ireland, McGregor’s business ventures are diverse and successful. His Dublin pub, The Black Forge Inn, even won gold at the Bar of the Year Awards.
In addition to his other ventures, the former UFC double champ is now a co-owner of the growing Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. With his wealth and popularity, McGregor partnered with David Feldman, drawing global attention to the promotion. BKFC’s boss even mentioned that McGregor’s influence has made their work much easier.
