Conor McGregor is an inspiration. At least for boxer Ebanie Bridges. The face of McGregor’s Forged Irish Stout, Bridges has promoted him and his product worldwide. And in doing so, she’s taken a lot of inspiration from him too.

The UFC fighter brought the IBF Female World Champion to Anthony Joshua’s fight on August 12th, 2023. Details about them partnering up rapidly started following. Now, Bridges has opened up about how she is trying to pick up the business from McGregor.

The OnlyF*ns model may just have hinted at retirement. Why? Perhaps Conor McGregor is showing her more than just promotional tactics. In a recent conversation, she opened up about how she’s learning a lot from ‘The Notorious’ as they continue their partnership.

“Obviously, mine and his collaboration is a little bit deeper,” she said in an interview. “I’m a face for Forged Stout now. I can learn a lot from him as well for when I finish boxing – and what he’s doing in business, I think is really inspiring.” 

It looks like she doesn’t plan on continuing boxing for far too long. And if she’s making a lot of financial gains from her OnlyF*ns and from the Stout with McGregor, perhaps she has all the money she needs. Growing the business might be an interesting direction for her too.

Meanwhile, McGregor has done nothing to hold back his own marketing of the brand. The Stout will soon be sold in large quantities in the USA too, after an initial run bolstered by high demand. However, will he get any time to do so between his UFC return and spats with the Irish government?

After the infamous and recent riots in Dublin over a stabbing, McGregor was quick to address the issue on social media. However, his X posts were called “irresponsible” by the government, and later, McGregor would post a picture of himself and announce himself as the “president” for the people. Do you think he should run for office next? Let us know in the comments.
