Thanks to his successful career in the mixed martial arts (MMA), the Irish Conor McGregor managed to become a world superstar. A fighter who knocked down barriers and postulated as a mass phenomenon, someone whose influence has gone far beyond sport. While it is true that extra -sports controversies and his life full of excesses have stalked him in recent years, The Notorious still has a lot of weight internationally.
Even more since Donald Trump achieved the presidency of the White House, because his friendship with the CEO and president of the UFC, the largest mixed martial arts league is well known. This Monday, coinciding with San Patricio, the patron of Ireland, McGregor has visited the place where the executive office and the residence in which the United States resident lives. There he has taken advantage of his stage as a politician, unofficially.
«We want the older brother to take care of us. The United States should take care of its younger brother. Our government is not taking measures, money is spent on immigrants, not on Irish, who are already a minority in many places. I want the Americans of Irish origin to listen to this or will not take place to visit again, ”McGregor said during his appearance before the media.
It is not the first time that the Irish makes statements in relation to the situation of his country, and many have been the ones who have questioned whether at any time he will decide to take the step to run to lead Ireland. In fact, his good harmony with Trump is not a secret, which invited his possession several weeks ago. The US president himself, who received the Irish prime minister, praised the figure of McGregor recently.
It was in that recent meeting with Micheál Martin, in the White House, where the US president mentioned the emblematic fighter: «It turns out that I like your fighter. It has the best tattoos I’ve seen. Conor is great … Ireland has always had many good fighters. You know why, because they are hard people, ”said Trump. We will see what this symbiosis holds between them, but what is clear is that this will not be the last time they are.
