UFC fans were in for a surprise when Conor McGregor recently made headlines for his unexpected participation in a football match. Videos circulating online showed McGregor playing football in Ireland over the weekend, and fans were quick to share their thoughts on his performance on the pitch.

The former UFC champion didn’t hold back during the match, aggressively tackling players and causing chaos on the field. Before the game, McGregor took to social media to hype up his participation, posting a photo of his Nike boots with the caption, “Today we ball.” He even boasted about his skills, claiming, “I break jaws with my shoulder, and noses. I get the ball on any pitch, anywhere. Moses.”

Fans couldn’t help but comment on McGregor’s choice of purple boots, with one fan jokingly expressing disappointment that he didn’t opt for pink ones instead. Many criticized his lack of finesse on the field and compared his playing style to that of an MMA fighter rather than a footballer.

In one particular clip, McGregor was seen taking down an opponent, sparking jokes about his MMA background. Some even went as far as to question if he could potentially play for Manchester United given his aggressive playing style.

Following the viral video of his football match, McGregor took to social media once again, likening himself to biblical figure Moses in the center midfield of any pitch. This unexpected venture into football comes after McGregor expressed interest in potentially buying two football teams, following rumors of Elon Musk’s interest in purchasing Liverpool.

While fans were eagerly anticipating McGregor’s return to the fighting scene, possibly against Logan Paul or KSI, it seems like McGregor might be exploring opportunities beyond combat sports. It will certainly be intriguing to see where his newfound interest in football leads him next.
