Conor McGregor Could Have Future in Politics, Irish PM Leo Varadkar Says

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar doesn't think it is too outlandish to imagine MMA fighter Conor McGregor in the political world.

TMZ Sports talked with Varadkar in Austin, Texas, and he said "you never know, stranger things have happened" when asked whether he thinks McGregor will one day be involved with politics. The Prime Minister mentioned Arnold Schwarzenegger's ascension from acting into politics as an example of the unexpected becoming reality.

This isn't the first time the idea of McGregor eventually taking up a career in the political spectrum has come up.
