Ahead of his potential comeback to the UFC, Conor McGregor has bizarrely linked up with entrepreneur Elon Musk.
After it was announced by Donald Trump that the UFC will host an event on the premises of the White House, the sport’s biggest star Conor McGregor announced that he is going to make a comeback.
Although there was widespread skepticism among the fanbase, shortly after, McGregor confirmed his return to the drug-testing pool after months out of it.
And after even more details were shared recently regarding the event at the White House, McGregor once again called his shot to fight on the event.
McGregor FaceTimes Elon Musk ahead of potential UFC return and presidential run
With ‘The Notorious’ Irishman’s comeback to the cage looming, he has been extremely active on social media recently sharing training videos.
However, as well as his planned return to fighting, the former UFC double champion has remained adamant that he will be running for president in the next election in Ireland.
The 37-year-old has claimed that he will be ‘the fittest president in history’ as he continues to attempt to win over support from the Irish people.
And likely in an attempt to increase his chances in the Irish presidential election, McGregor recently linked up with Elon Musk in a FaceTime call.
Musk was a big part of Trump’s presidential campaign, speaking at several rallies alongside UFC president Dana White.
The topic of McGregor and Musk’s call is unknown, however, the Irishman will likely have been picking the brain of the highly influential figure.
“This is superman level, folks,” McGregor said on his Instagram story.
Musk offered the opportunity to revolutionize MMA by UFC legend
At one bizarre point in time, it seemed inevitable that Musk would end up inside the cage fighting Mark Zuckerberg, and White later revealed that there were serious talks for them to fight at the Coliseum in Italy.
However, instead of getting involved in the fighting side of the sport, Musk has been offered the chance to revolutionize MMA by UFC legend Rampage Jackson.
It seems unlikely that Musk would involve himself with a different promotion considering his relationship with the UFC boss.
