Conor McGregor is upping the ante when it comes to agreeing to take a fight with anyone whether they are MMA fighters or boxers.
According to Oscar Willis of The Mac Life McGregor, while speaking to his sponsor Betsafe, says that fighters in both MMA and boxing must ‘lobby’ for fights with him, as he has transcended the fight game.
“My focus is getting back into the right ring or Octagon,” McGregor said. “2017 was historic. I have transcended both the sport of MMA and boxing. At this stage of my career, as it has been for the majority of my UFC career, potential opponents must lobby for fights with me. We could see Conor McGregor anywhere. I run the fight game, the fashion game, the whiskey game, or whatever the next business endeavor might be.”
What “lobbying” for a fight with McGregor entails exactly remains to be seen but it undoubtedly comes with the ability to produce a monster payday.
McGregor, who was last in the ring with Floyd Mayweather, has yet to announce a specific return to the Octagon, or ring.
