Following a St. Patrick’s Day White Home assembly with U.S. President Donald Trump, former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor introduced his plans to run for President of Eire.
Fellow former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier thinks McGregor’s aspirations to change into President of Eire are ‘a bit of ridiculous.’
“To be a politician, he desires to be a politician. Hell, I feel individuals in Eire do not even like him,” Cormier mentioned on the Good Man / Dangerous Man Podcast. “Everyone I discuss to are like, ‘I can not stand this dude.’ However I assume he appears like he has sufficient help to enter politics.”
Since introduced his intentions of operating for the workplace, Irish politicians have come out in droves to denounce his candidacy. To Cormier, your complete state of affairs is ‘ridiculous.’
“It’s a bit ridiculous,” mentioned Cormier. “The politics angle, for me, is a bit of bit ridiculous, however we’ll see what occurs.”
With the intention to get his identify on the poll, McGregor has to have help from throughout the Parliament or native authorities. Irish presidential candidates should garner the help of 20 parliament members or the backing of 4 of Eire’s native authorities. To date, McGregor is going through an uphill battle to generate sufficient help to seem on November’s poll for the Irish presidency.
