Ever since the injury, McGregor has been running his other businesses, including pubs and a recovery spray brand. He is also set to make his Hollywood debut soon alongside Jake Gyllenhaal.

Interestingly, it seems like the former UFC champion has added another feather to his cap with potential collaboration with Apple. McGregor recently took to his official social media accounts to announce this news.

McGregor posted a picture of himself posing similarly to Steve Jobs on Twitter. “Channeling my inner Steve Jobs for A MEGA ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW! Stay tuned… @Apple, McGregor wrote and also tagged Apple in the post.”

Many fans were quick to guess that Apple might be releasing a documentary on Apple TV or they might be adding his voice to Siri. However, nothing is confirmed yet. Also, McGregor has played such antics in the past as well, thus nothing can be said as of now.

‘The Notorious’ will return to fighting this year

The UFC president Dana White recently made the much-awaited news of Conor McGregor’s return official. Fans will see the Irish star coach in the upcoming season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ against fellow lightweight Michael Chandler.
