It can be said that the future holds huge possibilities for Connor McGregor as a celebrity and actor in TV shows. It has been said that apart from being hunted for a character in the show Games of Thrones, he is also being rooted for a fight between him and the famous boxer Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather is a worldwide champion in the boxing ring, many are not sure what the results will be, and more specifically if the fight will take place. McGregor who has openly shown his dislike of wrestling fanatics and considering the reputation of the known boxer and his own, many expect him to take the acting and appear on Game of Thrones. The possibility of this specific encounter seems to dwindle with each passing minute. This is not definite as McGregor is a time bomb and can change his mind if indeed he is to appear on the show. Just hold your breath and let us see how this unfolds.

The HBO Games of Thrones directors believe that Connor McGregor is a perfect fit for this amazing show. However, if the UFC champion and Star shows up and appears on the show is another independent fact. It would be difficult for him to disappoint his fans but on the other hand, this might not be his thing. Keep an open mind and expect any possibilities in the coming two seasons and in McGregor.
