Ronda Rousey might not be the only MMA superstar to make an appearance at WrestleMania 34. UFC lightweight Conor McGregor last took on Floyd Mayweather in their gigantic bout in August 2017, with rumors pointing towards a possible rematch with an MMA focus next time around. But that’s far from the only rumor connected to McGregor, with a possible move to sports entertainment in the mix.
Now according to the latest from oddsmakers, the chances we could see McGregor appear during the April 8th showcase in New Orleans have gotten much better:
UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor has a 7/4 chance of appearing at Wrestlemania 34, according to bookmakers.
They claim the fighting Irishman could well appear at the showcase event, and have priced him up as a 7/4 favourite to make an appearance.
Reports have linked the UFC champ to a move to the WWE over the past year, and a special guest appearance isn’t completely out of the question.
Ronda Rousey made a special WWE appearance during WrestleMania 31, leading many to assume she’d soon be joining WWE. While they were a few years off, Rousey is now a full-time part of the company and set to have her first match at WrestleMania in a tag-team bout alongside Kurt Angel against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon — a continuation of her first appearance in 2015.
Could it end up being something similar with Conor McGregor? He already has the John Cena seal of approval, with the future WWE Hall of Famer saying that McGregor promoted his bout with McGregor “as good or better than” WWE superstars do on a weekly basis.
