It also sounds like the new UFC featherweight champion might also become a movie star. Action star Vin Diesel teased that McGregor (19-2, 7-0 UFC) might be in the upcoming xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.
Diesel posted a photo of the two with the caption:
“Timing and precision,” Diesel said quoting McGregor’s post-fight speech after knocking out Jose Aldo. “The casting of the new “XXX” gets more exciting every day. #Iliveforthisshit”
Sources close to McGregor told FOX Sports that the UFC fighter has been offered a part, but terms haven’t been met.
Diesel is no stranger to casting UFC stars, he previously worked with former women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey in the Fast & Furious franchise.
