If I was Conor McGregor, I would be basking in my own glory right now. The Irish sensation is currently in Las Vegas, training for his upcoming title bout with Jose Aldo at UFC 189 on July 11. And if anyone could boost McGregor’s ego more, it would be the likes of Arnold Schwarzanegger.

The former California Governor, movie star and bodybuilding legend sat down with Joe.ie, and had some nice things to say about the Irishman.

“Conor is probably one of the greatest athletes of all time. He has the perfect combination of mind, body and talent,” something Schwarzanegger knows all too well from his days in bodybuilding.

But the praise didn’t stop there. Schwarzanegger made his start in bodybuilding, eventually taking his talent to Hollywood. The ‘Governator’ wishes for McGregor to consider an acting career just like he did.

“I think any athlete should always think about beyond their athletic career. The athletic career only goes so far.”

Right now, McGregor has a lot to focus on. If and when he pummels Aldo like he is saying he will, he will have the time to sit back and field any offers coming to him from Hollywood. Along with his fighting skills, McGregor’s attitude has vaulted him into fighting stardom, and it’s being noticed by other industries altogether.
