Conor McGregor Wants To Fight Conan O’Brien And Mark Wahlberg For UFC Shares
Conan O’Brien might have talked himself into a bit of a pickle.
Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor has been keeping himself busy lately, albeit not by fighting inside the cage. Instead, the Irishman has been picking fights on social media, and has been calling out fighters. With Dustin Poirier now expected to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242 in September in Abu Dhabi, it looks more and more likely that Conor McGregor will have to settle for a different fight than he would have wanted.
One thing that the Irishman has been eyeing however, is shares in the UFC. With prominent personalities now owning minority shares in the organization, Conor McGregor has now turned his attention to calling out Hollywood A-Listers and late night talk show hosts, who have a stake in the promotion.
Recently, Conan O’Brien jokingly said that he would want to fight Conor, with his shares in the UFC up for grabs. That invitation was more than sufficient to get McGregor’s attention, who then called out both Conan O’Brien and Mark Wahlberg.
“Challenge accepted Conan”, Conor wrote. “I’ll whoop you and Walhberg (sic) in the same night. Double shares for the Double Champ!”
