3. UFC Star Conor McGregor Open To Doing Business With WWE
We have noted before how WWE wants to bring a top UFC fighter (either Conor McGregor or Ronda Rousey) to WrestleMania 33 next year, and it might happen!
During an appearance on ESPN’s 5ive Rounds podcast, Audie Attar (Conor McGregor’s agent) said the following:
“I think it’s all about business, man. If WWE is going to come with an offer, we are willing to entertain it. We are here. Have their people call his people – which is me. We can have a conversation.”
For those who don’t know, Conor McGregor is UFC’s biggest star (biggest money draw) at the moment and recently became the first man ever to become a simultaneous two division (weight category) World Champion in UFC at UFC 205 PPV (by defeating Eddie Alvarez to win the UFC Lightweight World Championship and he was already the UFC Featherweight World Champion).
I didn't mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans. What I meant to say was that I'd slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday's.

Triple H was in attendance for UFC 205, to possibly have a talk with McGregor & UFC President Dana White regarding future business with WWE.

McGregor is taking some time off from UFC now, so it’s very much possible that he agrees to make an appearance at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania 33!
