"Khabib should be the Russian hitman" - Fans react to Conor McGregor featuring as "The Disruptor" in new Hitman DLC

Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov will never be separated from each other if MMA fans have their way. A trailer for a new piece of DLC (downloadable content) for the 'Hitman 3/Hitman: World of Assassination' video game reveals the Irishman as a character in the game. In fact, McGregor plays the primary antagonist of the DLC.

He plays 'The Disruptor,' who is both a mixed martial artist and multi-billionaire. The player's objective is to locate and assassinate McGregor's character, who promotes and takes part in MMA fights on a remote island. The trailer has drawn significant attention on X/Twitter.

Naturally, fans took the opportunity to share their thoughts on McGregor featuring in the DLC. One fan opined that 'The Notorious' may never fight again, highlighting the amount of success he's achieved to justify why McGregor will never need to compete again. The user wrote:

"Bro is never fighting again. He secured the bag, famous what's there to fight for? Let chandler move on"

Another fan saw the Irishman's video game collaboration as evidence that he isn't taking his expected bout with Michael Chandler seriously, and that he'd lose as a result. The user said:

"Chandler is winning that's crazy"

Others, though, couldn't help but mention McGregor's heated rivalry with Nurmagomedov, with comments like:

"Ok but Khabib should be the Russian hitman"

Some took to mocking Chandler's determination to fight McGregor.

"The only way Chandler is fighting McGregor is by playing this game"

For now, McGregor is nursing a broken toe which has sidelined him for some time. While some are hopeful for a quick recovery and return, UFC CEO Dana White has claimed he won't talk about 'The Notorious' until he is fully healed.
