It was an interesting time at the World Cup soccer finals in Russia on Sunday, as both Conor McGregor and UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov were in attendance.

Perhaps what was most interesting, however, was that McGregor posted a photo of himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin, of whom he said he was a guest.

McGregor has been Notorious in building his career, seemingly willing himself to become a two-division UFC champion and then into an impossible boxing match with Floyd Mayweather. Could something more be happening with Putin, aside from McGregor being his guest at a soccer game?

Today, I was invited to the World Cup final as a guest of Russian President Vladimir Putin, McGregor wrote on Instagram. This man is one of the greatest leaders of our time and I was honored to attend such a landmark event alongside him. Today was an honor for me Mr. Putin. Thank you and congratulations on an amazing World Cup.

One thing is sure, UFC president Dana White has yet to commit to the Irishmans next fight, although he continuously points to McGregor vs. Nurmagomedov as the likely next bout for both men, depending on the outcome of McGregors legal troubles in New York. But he has also said that he has no intention of said bout taking place in Russia.

So what gives with McGregor buddying up with Putin?

MMA and martial arts and Eastern Europe have this really weird relationship. Check the Chechnya dictator's obsession with it and the people Steven Seagal visits nowadays.

I posted about McGregor on this board literally when he was still a fresh-faced UFC fighter with one fight and no one cared. Now people care so much about him that his political opinion amounts to making a topic on it. Just interesting to see the change lol.

He's a professional fighter, not a politician. He was invited to the final by the president of one of the most powerful nations on the planet and said some gracious things about him publicly. What's the problem?

LOL, at most Russia is a regional power. They only punch above their weight because they have many nukes left over from the USSR.

Little did he know Muhammad Ali was one of the most prominent celebrities to effect political views in history
