Academy Award winner Jared Leto has always been a huge Conor McGregor fan and has attended multiple fights of the UFC star and just loves his style like most of the fight fans do. It started with Jared’s comment on an interview saying that he would love to have played the Irishman if he was younger.
The 50-year-old Leto said “If we do the UFC movie, if I was younger, I’d play Conor McGregor. I got the beard.” “What Conor does and what these guys and gals do is just extraordinary.” The appreciation turned into speculation of playing the star on the big screen but Leto was concerned about the physique and the agility required to play a UFC fighter. He said:
“I’m too old to do Conor probably, but you never know. We could maybe use some CGI.” Conor McGregor heard the news and instantly invited Jared to come train with him and learn the star’s mannerisms and style required to play the part. Conor and Jared to each other:

Khamzat Chimaev offers Conor McGregor to train with him for a potential Usman fight
Conor recently made a statement revealing that he was eyeballing the welterweight belt, added that he didn’t see any ‘danger’ with Usman. He was invited by Khamzat and Darren despite the fact that Khamzat himself was fighting at welterweight. This could be a great way for Conor to actually have a chance at the title if he did so. He added that he didn’t have anything to prove at 155lbs and feels/is big now.
Not only is Khamzat ready to accept the fact that McGregor could possibly be next in line for a super fight against Kamaru Usman, Chimaev, and his dear friend Darren Till are ready to help the Notorious One train for the welterweight title shot. “If he wanna fight Usman, I think it maybe can happen because the guy is so famous,” said Chimaev in his recent YouTube video. “When I finish Gilbert Burns, I think I am the next for the title. But this is the business: Who’s famous, makes more money, they choose them. I understand that.”
