Conor McGregor Told He Doesn’t Have the “Competence to Become a President” as UFC Star’s Political Ambitions Get Shut Down by Arman Tsarukyan

Conor McGregor has shown his interest in taking up politics as a career. His recent Tweets regarding the functioning of the Government hint at a switch of careers. The 35-year-old previously proved his worth as a businessman as well. However, the idea of him entering politics did not go well with Arman Tsarukyan. 

Tsarukyan recently appeared on the Extra MMA show, sharing his ideas regarding ‘The Notorious.’ His statements regarding the former champ may not go well with the Irishman’s fans. Let us delve into the video to find out what the 27-year-old had to say about Conor McGregor. 

Arman Tsarukyan is not a fan of Conor McGregor entering politics

Arman Tsarukyan is all set to face Beneil Dariush at UFC Austin in a lightweight main event. Tsarukyan is one of the most versatile fighters in the division who has shown a phenomenal graph since his debut in 2019. His debut fight saw him face Islam Makhachev and go the distance with the Dagestan native. Although he lost the fight, he pushed Makhachev harder than most of his opponents.

The Russian-Armenian has won seven out of eight UFC fights and is confidently entering the Octagon against Dariush. His recent interview on YouTube with Extra MMA gives us an insight into what he thinks about McGregor’s political career. He said, “I don’t think he has any competence to become a president.”

McGregor recently took to his social media for some political commentary after a stabbing incident in Ireland. ‘Mystic Mac’ came under fire for some of his comments regarding the same. With McGregor’s unpredictable nature, a side quest into politics isn’t out of the question. However, the 35-year-old has few things to settle inside the Octagon before he switches his career. 

Will Conor McGregor return to fight at UFC 300?

McGregor will likely face Michael Chandler in his comeback fight. With USADA parting ways with the UFC at the end of this year, there is a possibility that the much-awaited match might happen soon.

Regardless, UFC CEO Dana White has confirmed the former champion will return in 2024. Will ‘ The Notorious ‘ fight at UFC 300? Let us know in the comments below.
