Fight fans anticipate the return of Conor McGregor, the biggest superstar in combat sports. Dana White recently announced the Irishman’s return as the main event of UFC 303 against Michael Chandler. Weeks before the fight, McGregor released a music video partnering with Mexican sensation Peso Pluma.
Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, popularly known as Peso Pluma, is a global music sensation. The acclaimed singer had earlier announced his link-up with McGregor. The Irishman also announced via Instagram stories weeks before a video he did with Peso Pluma. The singer has now released a teaser trailer of the music video.
Enjoying this clear life. No one is eternal in this world
There’s nothing better than having fun” MAY-9
We are in order my old man @thenotoriousmma

The song’s release date is on June 20, days before McGregor would fight Chandler. In the teaser, McGregor shows gratitude for the song ‘La Durango.’ Montages of the Irishman’s training footage and flashy lifestyle are on the teaser.
During his absence from the octagon due to injury, McGregor had delved into the showbiz industry. He made his Hollywood debut opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in The Road House. He recently became part owner of BKFC, surprising many.
Conor McGregor poses with BKFC and UFC titles
BKFC has risen under David Feldman. With Mike Perry as the poster boy, the premium bare-knuckle promotion has created a huge fan base. Perry now makes exponentially more than he did during his UFC career. As such, Dana White offered to buy the promotion for an alleged $200 million but failed.

In his recent Instagram post, McGregor posed with a BKFC title on one shoulder and the UFC title on the other. The Irishman had earlier faced off with Perry, igniting a potential matchup.
Since he is now the owner of BKFC, fans wonder whether a potential Perry vs. McGregor would happen. Perry has always shown interest in it. Funnily enough, he called out McGregor even when the Irishman became a part owner.
Nevertheless, McGregor’s immediate future is with the UFC. If victorious against Chandler, he could put himself in title contention, particularly if Dustin Poirier upset Islam Makhachev at UFC 302. Though slim, stars align for a fourth fight with Poirier. The former interim lightweight champion is ahead in the rivalry as he is 1-2 against the Irishman.
