Conor McGregor has taken to social media to share his excitement about the potential acquisition of WWE by the UFC’s parent company, Endeavor. The official announcement was made today following leaks during the second night of WrestleMania 39. McGregor was quick to post a photoshopped image of himself bearing a WWE title belt over one shoulder and a UFC title belt over the other.
McGregor wasn’t the only one to express enthusiasm for the deal. Social media influencer and boxer Jake Paul has said he’s hopeful that fighter pay will increase as a result of the two mega-organizations joining forces. Multiple-time NCAA wrestling champion Bo Nickal called the WWE roster “easy money.” There is undoubtedly potential for cross-promotion between the two organizations, with fighters and fans awaiting further details.
