On Saturday, UFC lightweight champion and former featherweight champion Conor McGregor held an interview with renowned MMA journalist Ariel Helwani in Manchester. Above having a fantastic fighting career in the UFC and a hopeful bout with boxing champion Floyd Mayweather in the mix, McGregor is also apparently forming a relationship with Hollywood. He’s turning offers left and right.
“I’ll tell you. There are a lot of offers that I have turned down. I got offered the Predator movie.”
“If I was to do it, it would have been like eight weeks in Canada or Toronto or somewhere. It’s too long a time. You can’t do a million things at once. The Pegasus thing was one thing. The horse racing was one thing, because it was like three days, in and out.”
In response to claims of his new found affiliation with WWE, McGregor noted,
“Same thing with the WWE, I don’t need anything right now. I’m chilling. I’m trying to make something that I want to make happen. I’m trying to make something that I feel will be historic, that long after I’m gone, it will be told to kids everywhere.”
He continued,
“Never say never. I don’t know. I know it’s been conversation. I know Triple H was at the show. I’d love to go in the WWE and have a real knock. Let them see what’s what. But, we’ll see. The conversation is ongoing. I turned down some things, but the conversation is still ongoing.”
The original interview can be viewed here, by means of pay-per-view.
