If director Guy Ritchie had his way, UFC star Conor McGregor would have been in his new King Arthur movie.

On Sunday, Aoife Bannon of the Irish Sun reported Ritchie offered McGregor a role in the film, but the fighter couldn't take it because he was training.

McGregor wasn't in the recently released film, but he still had an influence.

"Preparing for the action scenes [in King Arthur], we watched a lot of McGregor, fight footage because his style was what we were after," Ritchie said, per Bannon.
