The MMA world is abuzz with rumors that Conor McGregor, one of the most iconic and controversial figures in UFC history, may be considering a move to the world of professional wrestling with the WWE. In a fiery social media post, McGregorhinted at a new challenge outside the octagon, targeting none other than WWE champion Cody Rhodes.
Many initially assumed that McGregor’ s call-up was simply part of his charismatic showmanship. However, speculation grew when Cody Rhodes responded in a recent interview with The Schmo, suggesting that he would be willing to face McGregor in a WWE ring. “I think it’s time to dive into the more entertaining side of sports entertainment,”, Rhodes commented, fueling enthusiasm for a possible clash between the two.
Although McGregor will return to UFC action on Feb. 1, 2025, against Dan Hooker in Saudi Arabia, the possibility of a crossover with WWE seems increasingly likely. Fans have noted that both UFC and WWE are now under the umbrella of TKOGroup Holdings, a merger born out of Endeavor’s 2023 acquisition of WWE. This unique business relationship could allow for more crossover appearances by high-profile athletes like McGregor.
In recent years, WWE has seen several former UFC stars make the transition, including Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar. McGregor’ s magnetic personality and high-energy persona would make him an instant fit for the world of professional wrestling, where larger-than-life characters thrive. His involvement would not only attract his huge fan base to WWE, but could also open new doors for MMA fighters looking to transition to other avenues of entertainment.
Whether this will be a long-term move or a one-time appearance remains to be seen, but McGregor’ s message has definitely stirred the pot, leaving fans anxious to know what’s next. Could we soon witness “The Notorious” stepping into the ring against Cody Rhodes? With McGregor anything is possible and he has proven time and time again that he is not afraid to rewrite his own history.
