7 Things Conor McGregor Could Do Next
4. WWE
Yes, this IS a possibility. We accept Conor McGregor has been highly critical of WWE throughout his MMA career and regardless of whether you think he's justified to talk about pro wrestling this way, we feel his outlook on the sport has changed, drastically.
When Conor McGregor was at the heights of his MMA career, being the first UFC fighter to hold two titles simultaneously, knocking out Eddie Alvarez with a masterclass display of striking, and being recognised as one of the most famous athletes in the world, you would have expected the Irishman to continue his legacy inside of the sport for many years to come right?
Well instead, McGregor decided to test his hand at boxing, and who better to go up against than arguably the best boxer to ever live in Floyd Mayweather? Despite eventually losing the boxing match, McGregor's net-worth largely increased, making it a no-lose scenario for him. With his wife just having his first child, you get the impression that money is now McGregor's top priority.
Without a doubt, there's a lot of money to be made in wrestling these days, and a superstar like Conor McGregor could well take advantage of this opportunity and rake in one very large payday.
