McGregor, MMA's
sole representative, joins Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller, US women's football
star Christen Press and Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade in this year's issue.
He follows in the footsteps of fellow UFC stars Ronda Rousey and Meisha Tate who
have both appeared in the hugely popular annual edition in recent years.
McGregor, who is
gearing up for his rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 in August, looks in
supreme physical condition, posing for a number of tactically positioned photos
for the magazine which will be available from July 8.
Conor sat down with ESPN's Kenny Mayne to discuss all things fighting, including the rumored
super-fight with Floyd Mayweather.
'If I only had to
focus on boxing, hell, I'd be neck and neck with Floyd right now,' he said.
'There are so many spinning plates in this game (MMA). If I was to put all of
them down and have one boxing plate spinning, it would be like a load off my
shoulders.'
A potential
showdown with Mayweather will have to wait for now with McGregor less than two
months away from attempting to avenge his devastating submission loss to Diaz
at UFC 196.
