Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor has announced on his social media platforms that he plans to run for president of Ireland.

The next presidential election must take place by 11 Nov 2025. Who else will stand up to Government and oppose this bill? Any other Presidential candidate they attempt to put forward will be of no resistance to them. I will! Ireland, the choice is yours and it is an easy one. Vote for me as your President and we will SAVE IRELAND TOGETHER!

His last fight was against Dustin Poirier in July 2021 at UFC 264. In that match, Conor lost by technical knockout due to an injury that prevented him from continuing. He holds a record of 22 wins and six losses.
