It looks like Conor McGregor is all set to make his return to the Octagon this year. Several sources have reported the same. Through the pictures presented by McGregor on the internet, fans can witness him in a very healthy state while also being buffer than ever before. It looks like the Irish fighter will be making a shift in weight division as he enters the octagon. From the surface, we can guess that he will be moving ahead with a heavier division. Talking about the ‘heavy’ stuff on McGregor’s list, he also has a heavy debt to pay off. Not a lot of fans would be aware of this, but their favorite UFC star owes money to a popular English actor.

Charlie Hunnam is known for several notable works. However, now UFC fans will also know him as the person who is owed a good amount of money by McGregor. The fighter owes “$4000” to the actor. Hunnam once mentioned that the Irish fighter is in his debt. Moreover, he also went ahead to ask for all his money back publicly.

How did Conor McGregor climb onto a platform of debt?

Although the word ‘debt’ seems like a heavy word, the case is not that concerning. Fans can relax knowing that ‘The Notorious’ is not in any legal trouble. After all, the richest UFC fighter knows how to set his investments systematically. In an old interview video with the actor, Charlie Hunnam called out McGregor in broad daylight. In a lighthearted way, he mentioned the incident. “I actually once was scheduled to go to Las Vegas to present him with the ‘Mixed Martial Artist of The Year’ award,” explained Hunnam.

So, Mr. McGregor, you owe me the price of a very good suit,” demanded the Englishman in the middle of the interview. It does seem odd for the fighter not to meet such a huge celebrity. However, every action has its reasons.

Fans must understand that when the Irishman canceled the meeting with Charlie Hunnam, he did not mean to do it for any political reasons. Conor McGregor had to shift his schedule a few days prior to the award ceremony as explained by Hunnam: “literally two days ago, he changed his schedule.” Also, in the same interview, when asked about the price of the suit, Hunnam said, “It was around 4000 dollars.

This sort of urgency is pretty understandable for any individual. However, especially for popular athletes, we can make an exception since there are a lot of important places that they have to be. Both professionally and personally.
