UFC star Conor McGregor has once again made headlines after speculations that the Irishman is planning a move to UFC's archrivals, the WWE! McGregor has been out of the UFC for a while and in a recent media interaction at Moscow, he had confirmed his UFC comeback in a Las Vegas fight in January 2020. However, there is a buzz that Conor McGregor might make a move towards WWE and it became more evident after Tyson Fury’s statement on the dream tag-team between him and Conor McGregor, which caught the attention of entire MMA and wrestling communities.
UFC: Will Conor McGregor join the WWE?
Well, officially NO. McGregor has recently disclosed his urge to fight the winner of the BMF belt in his UFC return and there are no official reports of his movement towards WWE. The former double champ is eyeing at least three UFC fights for 2020. The Irishman had a harsh approach towards WWE in the past and claimed that he is capable of beating the entire roster which can just be Notorious’s wish of getting inside the WWE ring or a publicity stunt to catch global attention.
McGregor's tweet about Becky Lynch made the entire world wonder about his next move a few months ago. Conor McGregor congratulated Becky Lynch for becoming the Champ Champ with a tweet and in the end, he kept a cheeky query about his in-ring capabilities to give a hint about his WWE move. WWE will surely love to sign a famous character like Conor McGregor and after the entry of Cain Velasquez and Tyson Fury, it won’t be too shocking if The Notorious appears in the WWE.
Congrats to Irelands Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ.

Wow!
What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty!
Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do.
Or could I...
Conor McGregor’s move towards the WWE got silenced after he confirmed his UFC return but the former heavyweight champion of boxing, Tyson Fury again raised the subject publicly. In a recent interaction with an Irish media daily, 'The Gypsy King' said that he would love to welcome a star like Conor McGregor in the WWE. According to Fury, he would love to be in a dream tag team match with McGregor on his side and WWE fans have loved the idea. However, Fury is lined up against Braun Strowman at the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel and there are no official reports about McGregor joining in WWE. Although in wrestling, you never know as anything can happen at any moment!
