Former two-division UFC champion, Conor McGregor has now claimed he is entertaining a potential presidential run in his native Republic of Ireland, claiming he is now the “only logical choice” to replace the incumbent, Michael D. Higgins next year.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and featherweight gold holder under the banner of the Dana White-led organization, has been out of action for over three years, most recently headlining UFC 264.
And suffering a gruesome injury in the first round resulting in a doctor’s stoppage TKO defeat to Dustin Poirier, McGregor fractured his left tibia and fibula in their trilogy rubber match at the lightweight limit.
