Did You See Conor McGregor Wearing Eagles Gear In Philadelphia?

In today's world where social media amplifies everything, Polarizing Figures have become megastars. Love or Hate them, people like Deion Sanders are must-watch television because you are either rooting for them to succeed or hoping to see them fail.

This is what makes former UFC Champion Conor McGregor such a unique public figure. Ever since he first won the Featherweight Championship Belt in 2015, McGregor has been the most polarizing fighter on earth.

The Mixed Martial Arts Fighter from Ireland has been the headliner for eight of the ten highest-grossing UFC Pay-per-View events of all time.  McGregor has been able to leverage his megastar status from the MMA world to being a successful entrepreneur.

McGregor co-founded Proper No. 12 Whiskey in 2018 and in 2021 sold his majority stake of the company in 2021. The Irish Fighter reportedly earned $130 Million from the sale of his majority stake in the company and he is still a part-owner.

Why Was Conor McGregor in Philadelphia On Thursday Night?

In 2023, McGregor announced his latest liquor venture named Forged Irish Stout. Named after The Black Forge Inn, an establishment Conor purchased in 2020, this new Stout is meant to be a true Irish-style Brew.

As part of his promotional tour in the United States for his Forged Irish Stout, Conor McGregor visited Chickie's & Pete's on Packer Avenue in Philadelphia. The MMA Star was wearing an Eagles Jacket and later served drinks with fans while wearing a Philadelphia Eagles t-shirt.

The Two-Division UFC Champion spent time taking pictures with fans at the popular Philadelphia Sports Bar. McGregor even took a picture with the most famous Chief Security Officer in the NFL, the Eagles "Big Dom" Disandro.

McGregor, who has not fought in the UFC since 2021, was supposed to fight the former Bellator Lightweight Champion Michael Chandler earlier this year. The proposed matchup between the two former MMA Championships has been postponed multiple times due to injuries.
