Conor McGregor somehow always manages to find himself in the limelight. Be it his UFC success or other business ventures, he is always making headlines. The Irishman has not only found success as a dual-weight champ in UFC but has continued to make waves as a non-fighting entity. With business ventures in BKFC, his Forged Irish Stout, his stint as a Hollywood villain, and his venture in the music industry with Greenback Records, he seems to be everywhere. But hold on, because it doesn’t stop there.

McGregor wants to enter the political realm as well and recently met Donald Trump at the White House to talk about the Irish political scenario. Meanwhile, as people are busy digesting this meet-up, ‘The Notorious’ went ahead and dropped an interview episode with Tucker Carlson.

The hour-long video had McGregor speaking about the Irish Parliament, slamming its ministers for their incompetence. He also spoke about his views on Trump and said, “I think he’s doing very well. I was present for his 2016 inauguration, although not officially, I was there on fighting business.”

He proceeded to recall the incident from 2016, saying, “I was fighting on Madison Square Garden for my 2nd UFC world title, and MMA and UFC had just become legalized in New York at the time. And I remember Trump had just been voted in, and he won the election, and it was uproar on the streets and anger, and you know, fear, I suppose, was going on. And at that time, I was just an observer. You know, politics wasn’t really on my mind at that time. Ireland was not going through what it was going through at that stage in 2016. Although it was rising, it was unbeknownst to me and many in the country.”

The Irishman made an appearance at the White House last month as part of President Trump’s invitation to him on St. Patrick’s Day. Apart from meeting with the POTUS, ‘The Notorious’ took the opportunity to make a scathing critique of the Government of Ireland, highlighting his issues with the country’s immigration crisis as a key issue.

Meanwhile, he has not stepped inside the cage for almost 3 years now, and it looks like he is busy fighting a different war. McGregor does have the support of some important names like Elon Musk, Andrew Tate, and Donald Trump, but can he get involved in the Irish political scene? That remains to be seen. What we do know is McGregor has not forgotten the unfinished business he has with Michael Chandler that started from their Season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter stint as coaches of opposite teams.

Conor McGregor has called out Michael Chandler… again

The 36-year-old was scheduled to make a comeback at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler, but he was forced to withdraw due to a broken toe. Chandler had waited almost 2 years to culminate their unfinished business and grew tired of waiting. Finally, he clashed against Charles Oliveira at UFC 309. ‘Iron’ lost the fight but then got a chance against Paddy Pimblett. Unfortunately, he lost again and now has a three-fight losing streak.

Meanwhile, McGregor, who last fought in 2021, laid down the possibility for a future fight in 2025. The dual weight UFC champ posted on X: “IRON MIKE CHANDLER. Unfinished business.” However, he will only come back if it’s a full-house stadium. McGregor reacted to a video of the WrestleMania 41 event that happened at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. His demand? “I’ll only come back to a stadium.”

What did Chandler say during the callout? “Unfinished Business Loading….” He wrote on X. ‘Iron’ is not really in a good position right now after losing three back-to-back fights. Chandler could still potentially come back for either another lightweight contender bout or a big-money fight. ‘The Notorious’ too is not in a good position, fight record-wise, since he lost his last fight against Dustin Poirier. 

As of now, the UFC already has a lot on its plate with the heavyweight and lightweight category chaos. Along with that, the promotion is aiming to save UFC 317 as International Fight Week comes nearer. So, what will happen to McGregor vs Chandler? Second time’s a charm?
