McGregor’s First Film Ended at the Nate Diaz Rematch, and the Next Film Will Feature More Recent Events
JD Sports asked McGregor, “If you wanted to describe yourself like a movie, what would it be?”
Notorious said, “I’m actually onto [my] second movie.” He then pointed off-camera and said, “That camera right there is filming.” McGregor then tells the reporter that he has multiple film projects on the go, and he has worked in different roles, including directing and executive producing.
The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion said, “I finished [Conor McGregor: Notorious] at the Nate Diaz rematch, the documentary ended. I won the second UFC world title against Eddie Alvarez after the movie. And then I also fought [Floyd Mayweather], and I also had all that chaos with the Russian [Khabib Nurmagomedov]. And an hour into what’s coming next. So I’m just documenting all of this, you know what I mean? Content is king.”
It’s Unclear When McGregor Will Step Back Into the Octagon
Notorious’ first fight since he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October 2018 went very well for the Irishman. He took on Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the main event of January 18’s UFC 246.
McGregor defeated Cowboy 40 seconds into the first round by vicious strikes. He now sits at #3 in the official UFC lightweight rankings, and fans await the announcement of his next match.
There are many potential fights for Notorious. UFC president Dana White has revealed plans of having the Irishman fight the winner of UFC 249’s Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson. If that’s the case, McGregor will have the chance to, once again, win the lightweight championship.
There are other more readily available options if McGregor wants to get back into the Octagon sooner rather than later. He could face off against top-contenders Justin Gaethje or Dustin Poirier. He could also fight Nate Diaz in a trilogy fight. Notorious was also linked with Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal, but the UFC president revealed on the Jim Rome Show that those two men are going to fight in July.
There are always boxing options for Notorious as well. A rematch with Floyd Mayweather is a possibility, along with matches against Manny Pacquiao and Paulie Malignaggi.
