What is going on?
From MMA unknown in 2013, to the biggest fighting star ever, Conor McGregor has made the transition in four years. Starting out with a huge KO win over Marcus Brimage, McGregor has now fought for and won two UFC titles.
During his time in the UFC, the Irishman has made a lot of enemies. His brash talking and sharp wit have also scored ‘The Notorious’ many fans along the way too. Now a former two-weight simultaneous champion, Hollywood wants a taste of McGregor too.
McGregor’s New Line Of Work
During a number of recent trailers for ‘Pegasus Cup Invitational,; McGregor has been showing he’s no one-trick pony. His starring role in ‘The 13th Jockey’ has been getting a lot of media attention lately.
Check out Conor McGregor’s latest trailer for ‘The 13th Jockey’ as described in quotes from MMA Heat:
Conor McGregor, the first fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold two championship belts, was tapped as the ‘13th Jockey’ for The Pegasus World Cup Invitational, the world’s richest Thoroughbred horse race. For McGregor to become the “13th Jockey” and conquer the sport of Thoroughbred horse racing, The Notorious had a lot of training to do! He had to get to know his way around the stables, train like a jockey, bond with a horse and learn how to ride!
Directed by Frank Coraci, Co-Starring Jon Lovitz.

The (Annoying) Mayweather Connection
Following 18 months of rumours regarding Floyd Mayweather, fans are beginning to think this fight could become a reality. If it does, great we’ll be watching, but then there’s the other possibility, perhaps more likely.
Regarding the latter, if this is just another publicity stunt, please let’s stop the madness. If ‘Money’ isn’t to come out of retirement, let’s get some UFC title defense talk started.
