UFC legend Conor McGregor running for president of Ireland

UFC fighter Conor McGregor solidified his bid for Ireland’s presidency on Thursday with a promise to preserve his native country by tackling migration, days after meeting with President Trump at the White House.

McGregor has decided to campaign as a leader in opposition to the European Migration Pact, which would create a streamlined approach to border security and immigration and speed up the asylum process for European Union members.

“The next presidential election must take place by 11 Nov 2025. Who else will stand up to Government and oppose this bill,” he wrote in a Thursday post on social platform X.

“Any other Presidential candidate they attempt to put forward will be of no resistance to them. I will!”

Hope Ireland rejects him.
