Former UFC lightweight champion, Conor McGregor may soon be following in the footsteps of ex-colleague and former UFC women bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey in making the transition from MMA to pro-wrestling with a possible stint with the WWE.

McGregor recently stated that a stint in WWE might well be on the cards once he retires from the sport of MMA.

While the Irishman has recently been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons and many believe that his popularity is on the wane, it can't be argued that he is still one of the most bankable superstars in the UFC. The Chief Operating Officer of the WWE, Paul Levesque, better known by his ring name Triple-H had previously expressed his desire to bring the charismatic Irishman on board someday. (h/t MMA News)
