Is Conor McGregor going on Joe Rogan’s podcast? Deciphering the ‘Mystic’ message of UFC superstar

Fame is as fame does. Subsequently, all Conor McGregor does and knows is go viral for any reason. Who cares “When Conor McGregor is returning?” The ex-UFC two-division champ maintains the “Notorious” gusto outside of fighting just as much. Cable pay-per-view, or live tele, McGregor knows he is a notoriety. Now, he drops a tease to UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan about it.

Host of the ‘JRE MMA’ Show (Spotify-exclusive show) has been home soil to many big names. Rogan even acted as an 11^th hour proponent and aide to Donald Trump. The episode with the POTUS had 27 million views on YouTube in the first phase alone! Think what a “Notorious” episode would be after all these years. Conor McGregor drops the tease to come and find out.

There is no indication that the Irishman meant himself. But why, after so long, is McGregor ready to join other A-list celebrities and appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast? “Mystic Mac” is teasing free agency and promotional crossover since his combat return is far from final.

McGregor was open to doing another exhibition boxing. However, TKO Group Holdings axed the $250 million sweet crossover bout. So, he might be a little bent out of shape for that. Then, there is also the scope of the BKFC, a promotion he owns. Promoting the bare-knuckle fighting on JRE could work well for BKFC’s future.

What’s up @joerogan my man I messaged you! Are you looking for a guest on the podcast, I have a great one for you!

The UFC superstar has also dabbled in political aspirations and gone up against the Irish Garda and the old guard. The Irish UFC star even doused to reform the Dáil Éireann (House of Representatives of the Oireachtas/AKA Irish Parliament)! He has continuously spoke about political issues in recent times, receiving support from Elon Musk and Tate Brothers.

Once touting 14.5 million on Spotify/17.6 million on YouTube, Rogan’s platform would be a sure spot to get a message out to low-propensity, right-wing minds and global McGregor fans. What is the message that McGregor wants to send remains to be seen.

What message could Conor McGregor want to get out?

UFC superstar Conor McGregor is never without a viral moment. While he awaits a return, the Irishman has kept himself busy with other ventures. “The Notorious” hasn’t fought since his 2021 TKO (injury) loss to Dustin Poirier. But that doesn’t null out who or what he is or can be.

‘The Notorious’ worked the NYSE trading floors with 42nd ex-POTUS Bill Clinton and is often prone to philanthropy. His Irish housing estate venture also crossed some few hundred (300+) units in recent times. Then, there were the absurd philanthropy and takeovers like wanting to buy Manchester United!

The Irishman has also hit out against IPAS (International Protection Accommodation Services) centers and immigration measures in favor of a pure Ireland. Contrastingly, Conor McGregor isn’t the global white knight in all situations.

A Dublin Jury levied fines above €248,000 in damages (£206,000 /$260,000 all-in) plus legal waivers for an assault case. McGregor promised he would appeal that and go up against Nikita Hand, the accuser. So, recent teases could be about that as well.

His infamous Proper 12 brand dropped him right after as a media pitchman. A recent tease to Rogan could be about other business ventures like that. Then, there is the matter of his return to UFC or elsewhere. While still with two fights under his contract, he has teased that he’ll fight in BKFC as well. So that’s a thing. Right now (or ever), Conor McGregor is never without topics to go viral for.
