Popularity phenomenon in MMA, Conor McGregor made Joe Rogan uncomfortable when he compared the life of an actor to that of a professional fighter. In his podcast, the UFC's main commentator criticized the Irish star's statement, pointing out examples that, in his opinion, refute the 'Notorious' thinking. Former double Ultimate champion, the athlete was one of the protagonists of the film 'Matador de Aluguel', released in 2024.
"This is not true. Act in 'Matador for Hire' or fight Khabib (Nurmagomedov) again? Shut up. This is crazy. He (McGregor) broke his leg in a fight. It's tough. He's promoting the film. That's what he's doing. And he’s a good prosecutor,” Rogan said.

Successful on the big screen, McGregor intends to keep his schedule full this season and confirmed that he will return to the octagon soon. Recently, the former featherweight (up to 65,7kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3kg) champion admitted that he should perform between June and September.
