Conor McGregor is making headlines again, but not for his knockout punches inside the UFC Octagon. Instead, the Irishman has focused on a new fight that has the potential to transform his country’s political landscape. As the world watches, ‘The Notorious’ steps closer into Irish politics. His unshakeable commitment to his homeland is well known, but he recently revealed how far he is willing to go to safeguard and fight for it. In a dramatic confession, Conor McGregor revealed something that startled even his most ardent fans: he is willing to give up everything, including his life, for Ireland.
During an exclusive interview with political pundit Tucker Carlson, McGregor’s love for his country was clear. In a moment of genuine honesty, ‘The Notorious’ delivered a statement that no one expected. He said, “I love my country dearly. Nothing and no one could ever change that fact. I would give my life for my nation.” Trust us when we tell you that this wasn’t a casual comment; McGregor’s affection for Ireland, he explained, goes beyond any professional or personal advantage. According to McGregor, his political ambitions stem from his personal connection to Ireland’s daily struggles. As a successful businessman and employer in the country, the former UFC double champion understands the issues that everyday people face.
“I hear about the struggles of people… it ignites a fire in me to stand up,” he said, showing his commitment to the country’s future. Conor McGregor’s choice to enter politics was not motivated by celebrity or power, but rather by the desire to make a genuine difference in the lives of those he considers family. Despite his family’s concerns, particularly his mother, who has pushed him to leave behind the political turmoil and enjoy the comforts of his wealth, McGregor remains firm. He confessed, “Despite maybe the worries of my mother and people in my life,. They say, ‘Why? Why? Let’s go away. Let’s sail on the yacht. Let’s f—– do something—excuse the language—let’s do something else.’ But I cannot.”

The former UFC double champion further added that his loyalty to Ireland is unshakable, and he will fight for his nation regardless of the personal cost. “My country is my country, and I’ll fight for it till the day I go out,” he said, leaving little question that Conor McGregor is willing to give anything—including his own life—for Ireland’s future. But while he has stated his plans to change his country, can he actually run for president of Ireland?
What are the chances of Conor McGregor successfully running for president?
While Conor McGregor has an undeniable passion for Ireland, legal and political experts believe his chances of running for president are limited. ‘The Notorious,’ who has become a figurehead for some far-right groups, announced his intention to run on an anti-immigrant platform, which received widespread attention on social media and in the news. However, getting on the ballot requires more than just making a declaration. To run, Conor McGregor would require the endorsement of at least 20 members of the Irish Oireachtas or four local authorities—a significant challenge considering his outspoken public persona and polarizing views within Ireland.
Even if the UFC fighter overcomes these difficulties, his chances of becoming president are further hampered by the role’s restricted powers. The Irish presidency is primarily ceremonial, with limited legislative influence. Conor McGregor’s promises to fight EU migrant regulations and advocate for referendums are impractical, given that the president has the authority to reject bills or launch referendums unilaterally. Political experts clarify that even if elected, the Irishman would lack the constitutional authority to carry out his claims.
The presidency’s function is primarily symbolic, and all legislation approved by the government must be signed by the president, whether or not they agree with it. In the end, while McGregor’s desire to make a difference in Ireland is evident, attaining that goal through the president appears practically impossible. His outspoken ideas, along with the legal and political obstacles involved in campaigning for office, suggest that his ambitions for Ireland’s highest office may stay just that—aspirational rather than attainable ones. But what do you think? Will Conor McGregor be able to achieve the impossible? Let us know in the comments.
