Conor McGregor, the former UFC champion, has announced his intention to run for President of Ireland in the 2025 election, citing dissatisfaction with the current government and promising to address the concerns of the Irish people. McGregor's campaign is centered on dissolving the Dáil, Ireland's parliament, if necessary, and positioning himself as the 'only logical choice' for the presidency. His announcement has been met with skepticism and humor from various quarters, including fellow athletes like Ben Askren and Chris Curtis. Despite his lack of political experience, McGregor's candidacy has garnered significant attention due to his celebrity status and outspoken nature. McGregor has not fought since 2021 due to injuries but was expected to return to the octagon before committing to his political ambitions. The current president, Michael D. Higgins, will complete his term in 2025, making way for the upcoming election.
