Conor McGregor has big things planned for 2017, including a change in sports and new running buddies.
That’s the premise of “The 13th Jockey,” a new series of video shorts starring the UFC superstar and comedian Jon Lovitz. In the series, McGregor drops his fighting career to pursue horse racing — not as a trainer but as a jockey.
Here’s McGregor’s introductory press conference in the sport of kings.
