CONOR MCGREGOR IS being considered by UFC president Dana White to headline UFC 193 at the 50,000 seater Etihad Stadium in Melbourne next year.
The event, which will take place on 15 November, is set to break all records currently held by the famed 2006 Anthony Mundine-Danny Green bout, and will be announced in the coming weeks according to the Australian Daily Telegraph.
The announcement comes about after the Victorian Labour government won power over the weekend, after vowing to scrap the ban on The Octagon cage used in UFC.
Under the previous Liberal government, mixed martial arts was allowed in Victoria but the eight-sided “cage” was banned.
McGregor’s next fight is against Denis Siver in the TD Garden in Boston next month, a bout for which he has opened as a huge 1/10 favourite.
Good man anto ya toothless eegit lol
McGregor needs to see off Siver first, which he should do. But nothing is ever guaranteed in the fight game.
Who cares? Bandwagon sport. Soon fade as soon as mcgregor is sparked ouuuuu
Shut up
Going a long time for it to be a bandwagon sport
Yes he is David. What’s the crack with his American put on accent? Is he not from predominantly working class Crumlin?
An absolute knobber of a human being.
Why don’t you take yourself down to that gym he train at and run your fascinating opinion by him?
I pray this will happen it’ll save us the trip to Vegas or wherever. We’ll show the Aussies and the world how to support one of our own.
Australia as good as Ireland for support for him!
Conor McGregor would be the worst sevens player ever. Great in defense but I can’t see him running away from people in offence
