Earlier this week, rumors began circulating UFC superstar Conor McGregor would be making an appearance on next season of HBO’s smash hit show; ‘Game of Thrones’.
Now, it looks like you can take the report to the bank, as UFC President Dana White has all but confirmed his young champion’s participation in the show:
“I did hear that. I knew a few months ago that they were interested in putting (McGregor) in the show,” White said in an appearance with Fox Sports Live. “I’m glad he did it. It will be great. The show is huge. It’s awesome, and I’m excited for him.”
While McGregor himself has been pretty quiet on the subject, when it comes to UFC matters if Dana White confirms it, you can definitely believe it.
After a busy & highly successful year, McGregor is said to be looking to take a small break from fighting, with White saying he could be off for up to 10 months; so it makes sense for him to get in some extra-curricular activities and take advantage of the spotlight shining bright on him.
