UFC Champion Conor McGregor Will Appear on GAME OF THRONES
UFC champion Conor McGregor is confirmed to make an appearance in an upcoming episode of HBO's Game of Thrones. For those unaware, McGregor is the charismatic, crazy fighter who is the only UFC fighter to hold titles in two separate weight classes. His personality and fighting ability have skyrocketed his profile beyond the sport and supposedly into Primetime television.
The news of McGregor's appearance was confirmed by UFC President Dana White (via Uproxx) who said:
“I did hear that. I knew a few months ago that they were interested in putting him in the show. I’m glad he did it...It will be great. The show is huge. It’s awesome, and I’m excited for him.”
I know not everyone who reads the site is an avid fan of sports, so to help you understand why this is cool and why people are freaking out, I've compiled a couple videos to show you just how great this could be...
Needless to say I'm a little pumped. Are you? There are no details yet as to what role McGregor will have in the upcoming season, but we can assume it's a cameo.
