Conor McGregor may not be fighting right now, but he’s making some big moves as a businessman.

Similarly, McGregor recently shared a tweet reading an announcement for his Forged Irish Stout beer.

There is no doubt that Conor McGregor is the richest MMA athlete in the world. His outlandish persona has been one of the most standout characteristics that leave fans wanting more. However, there is still time for ‘The Notorious’ to make his UFC return, and as such, he has kept himself invested in other ventures and recently made an announcement. Let’s see what McGregor had to say.

Conor McGregor confirmed that Forged Irish Stout is now available in the US

The former UFC double champion is looking to extend the reach of his alcoholic beverage brands in the world. As such, he recently announced that Forged Irish Stout is now available for sale in the United States. For now, it will be available on the East Coast, but Conor McGregor has more announcements on the way. He said, “We are available now in multiple East Coast states in the U.S. Both on and off premise. With more major announcements imminent!”

Meanwhile, Conor McGregor seems to be very happy with what he has achieved with Forged Irish Stout. Yet, he is not surprised by how big of a brand it has become. “The rise of Forged Irish Stout has been something to witness and we are not surprised. A phenomenal tasting Stout,” said McGregor. With the Irishman’s business on the rise, he once mentioned his wish to overtake basketball legend, Michael Jordan.

McGregor also mentioned about Michael Jordan and how he’s at the top spot. He said, “Michael Jordan’s at the top spot, obviously with the Jordan brand that took him there. He’s worth multiple billions, I think $3.3b he’s made.”

The 35-year-old MMA icon then mentioned his net worth rising rapidly. Moreover, he also intends to top the Forbes list and overtake Michael Jordan in the process. “I’m closing in on a billion, I think I’m about $650m all in that I’ve made. I think they estimate that, I’d probably have to do my own little check of that, but I fancy my chances of getting up that list,” said Conor McGregor.
