Is the Spirit of MAGA Coming to Ireland? Former UFC Champion, Conor McGregor, Announces Presidential Run!

When Conor McGregor hit the UFC in 2013, it didn’t take long for him to become the hottest fighter in the company.

We’re talking a dynamic, wildly entertaining fighting style. Awesome two-fisted knockout power. And a brash, fast-talking personality fully equipped with razor-sharp wit.

Now, do you think anyone was talking about such a guy becoming President of a nation back then?

Probably not.

In fact if you brought such an idea up back then, you’d most likely be told it was time for a nice, padded jacket.

But this was before the President Trump era began.

And a lot’s changed since then.

Which is why in the upside-down world we live in today, McGregor’s announcement he’s running for President of Ireland in 2025 makes perfect sense.

The former UFC champ has seen enough of what’s happening in his home country and it looks like he’s going to do something about it:

Here’s a closeup of his statement:

That’s a lightning-bolt of an opener.

And do its intentions also sound a bit familiar?

Going after “these thieves of the working man”, “disrupters of the family unit, “destructors of small businesses”.

Yes, it sounds like McGregor’s looking to bring the core principles of MAGA to Ireland.

Plus we already know McGregor supports President Trump:

Per Forbes:

Former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor kept hinting at a run for president of Ireland on Wednesday, following days of tweets in which he criticized presidential candidates and the Irish government for “failed policies in protecting and securing” the country’s citizens—joining a wave of recent backlash from Ireland’s right wing.

The mixed martial artist also blasted Ireland’s immigration policies, which are under fire from Ireland’s right wing following a stabbing that left three children and two adults injured and sparked what the government called “far-right” riots last week.

 

McGregor, 35, has boasted about his youth and said on X that he has “no affiliation/bias/favoritism toward any party.”

McGregor has specifically focused his would-be policies around immigration so far, saying there’s “a real lapse in national security” in Ireland and that the country needs to deport illegal migrants and form a “task force founded to assess all entrants into Ireland”—one he would call “Ireland Protect.”

X owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk supported McGregor’s potential presidential bid, saying “I think you could take them all single-handed.”

As with President Trump making securing America’s border the prime directive of his 2016 campaign, McGregor’s primary focus is to defend his country’s borders and national sovereignty.

President Trump is ‘America First’, Conor McGregor is ‘Ireland First’.
