McGregor broke record after record and drove the sport’s popularity through the roof. The career graph of ‘The Notorious’ is nothing short of a movie script and it’s just a matter of time before someone eventually makes one.
Oscar-winning actor Jared Leto shared his desire to play the iconic fighter’s role. He said, “If we do the UFC movie…I mean, look if I was younger, I’d play Conor [McGregor]… I got the beard. What Conor does and what these guys and gals do is just extraordinary… I’m too old to do Conor, probably, but you never know. We could maybe use some CGI.”

“Maybe I can play Dana White,” he proposed.
