Real Madrid interested in staging Conor McGregor fight

After Conor McGregor and Cristiano Ronaldo struck up an unlikely friendship over the summer, the Irish UFC superstar could be fighting at the Santiago Bernabeu next year.

The Santiago Bernabeu has seen its fair share of big hitters over the years, but UFC standout Conor McGregor may just be the biggest of them all and he could be bringing his MMA talents to Real Madrid’s stadium next year.

Reports in Ireland have said that ‘The Notorious’ could be lining up a huge show in the Spanish capital next summer.

McGregor is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, name in the UFC with his pay-per-view shows bringing in millions of dollars for the organization, which is now looking to use his popularity to grow the sport in Europe.
