This is amazing… and so weird.
We’ve no doubt that Conor McGregor is an outstanding athlete and could excel at many sports if he set his mind on it, but horse racing, may not be one of those sports.
Surprisingly, The Notorious is starring in a short comedy series alongside actor and comedian Jon Lovitz about how the UFC star will become the 13th jockey in the world’s richest thoroughbred horse race, the Pegasus World Cup Invitational.
No, we’re not joking…

They even have the very first episode of the series uploaded online and we have to say, we’re very impressed by the acting skills shown by the Dubliner… although he is just playing himself, really.
