Conor McGregor and President Donald Trump share a surprising common trait, claims political consultant after inauguration meet

Conor McGregor recently turned heads with his appearance at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony, where he garnered unexpected praise from a political consultant.

The Irish MMA star and former UFC double champion has often been in the spotlight for his bold personality, and his presence at the event further cemented his larger-than-life reputation.

Samantha Menh, who met McGregor during the ceremony, shared her admiration for him on Instagram. She also praised McGregor’s ability to captivate a room, describing his presence as uniquely impactful and comparable to Trump’s.

She noted McGregor’s potential to drive meaningful change, writing:

"It was an incredible honor to meet Conor @thenotoriousmma We both came up from humble beginnings, and I have immense admiration for his relentless drive, grit, and determination. I deeply respect all that he has accomplished and all that he will undoubtedly achieve in the future."

Additionally, she wrote:

"I particularly valued the opportunity to discuss my 13 years in politics and the intersection of politics and the private sector and explore how these two spheres can drive meaningful change. What stood out most was the incredible energy he brings to the room and his unique ability—similar to President @realdonaldtrump —to make you feel like you’re the only person in the room. I am truly grateful for the time we spent together."

Conor McGregor confronts Jake and Logan Paul at Donald Trump’s inaugural

Conor McGregor, known for his sharp wit and trash talk, made waves after confronting Logan and Jake Paul during their journey to Donald Trump’s inaugural event. Speculation about a potential $250 million showdown between McGregor and Logan in India added intrigue to the encounter.

The exchange, partially captured on Logan’s vlog, showcased McGregor’s trademark confidence. Outside the event, he teased Logan, saying:

“You kept your mouth shut, you did. I thought we were gonna get the fight going? You’re very quiet. You’re giving all this 'Dana this, Dana that' – you’re f*cking controlled by the WWE as well, bro. … Bring it home for me.”

On the bus, McGregor raised the stakes, proposing a fight at 190 or 195 pounds and even adding KSI to his hit list:

“Here’s the deal, I’m gonna slap the head off the two of yous, and KSI,” McGregor said just inches away from Jake and Logan. “All three. … Side jobs. A little side job, yeah?”

Though the interaction was lighthearted, McGregor’s intent to return to combat sports was clear. He hasn’t fought since his injury at UFC 264 in 2021.
