Conor McGregor to take role of WWE heel after UFC acquisition

After WWE's acquisition by the UFC parent company Endeavor, Conor McGregor will take the role of a heel.

Talking to The Independent, Endeavor President Dana White made it clear that McGregor is the most suitable person to take the role. He said, “It’s pretty easy to figure out, that would have to be Conor McGregor. He has WWE written all over him. He would be the ultimate heel and that would be kind of fun.”

Earlier, many fighters have changed sides, icons like Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey too quit the WWE to join the UFC.


As the UFC was in financial trouble, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta bought the UFC for USD 2 million.

Dana took control of the WWE when it was preparing to file for bankruptcy and turned it into a USD 7 billion firm.

Dana White expressed confidence that he would be able to take the company to new heights after the acquisition. He told journalists, “Both companies will continue to grow. You may see a few more fighters in the WWE audience and a few more wrestlers in their audience. But I don’t really envision too much crossover.”

World Wrestling Entertainment or the WWE is a US conglomerate in the field of professional wrestling. It has also branched out in the field of cinema, American football, and other business ventures.
