UFC enthusiasts were taken aback by Conor McGregor’s latest activity on social media, just before he drew attention for his performance in a recent football match. Over the weekend, footage emerged showing McGregor playing football in Ireland, but fans were not particularly impressed with his skills on the field.

The former UFC champion displayed an aggressive style, tackling opponents and creating quite a stir during the game. Leading up to the match, McGregor took to his social media platforms to announce his participation, posting a picture of the Nike boots he planned to wear and captioning it, “Today we ball.” He even boasted about his athletic prowess, exclaiming, “I break jaws with my shoulder and noses. I get the ball any pitch, anywhere. Moses.”

Fans had a field day commenting on McGregor’s choice of purple boots, with one humorously expressing disappointment that he didn’t opt for pink ones instead. Reactions to his gameplay were mixed, with many criticizing his lack of finesse and likening his style more to that of an MMA fighter than a footballer.

In one memorable clip, McGregor was spotted pulling down an opponent, leading to a flurry of jokes referencing his MMA background. Some fans even playfully speculated about whether he could join Manchester United, given his aggressive approach to the game.

After the footage of his football antics went viral, McGregor shared yet another post, comparing himself to the biblical figure Moses, claiming he could dominate the midfield on any pitch. This unexpected venture into football follows his expressed interest in acquiring two football clubs, amidst reports of Elon Musk potentially buying Liverpool.

While fans were eager for McGregor’s return to the fight scene, possibly against Logan Paul or KSI, it appears he may be exploring avenues beyond combat sports. It will be fascinating to see how this newfound passion for football evolves for him in the future.
