The world is all making the same joke as footage of Conor McGregor’s “merciless” acts on a football field goes viral.
The former UFC world champion flew into crunching tackles and came close to scoring a screamer as he swapped the Octagon for the football pitch this weekend.
The Irish fighter proved he has no chill with candid video showing the 36-year-old trying to take opponents out with dangerous sliding tackles.
The UFC cult hero, affectionately known as “The Notorious”, shocked fans by lining-up for pub team Black Forge FC, according to The Sun.
McGregor donned the No.11 shirt for the side named after the pub he owns in Dublin called the Black Forge Inn.
He appeared to play on the left-wing as footage of him in action went viral on social media.
He used his physical presence and aggression to good use, holding off defenders and putting in flying challenges.
In one of the clips, McGregor is beaten to the ball and falls to the floor before bouncing back up and steaming into another tackle with his studs showing.
And after avoiding booking, he later goes for a volley from a set-piece but ends up booting an opposition player’s stomach in true MMA style.
The match against Harding FC in the United Churches Football League finished 1-1.
McGregor shared all the videos on his Instagram stories but clips from the match have been spreading across cyberspace with fans all pointing out the same thing.
It’s impossible to ignore the fact McGregor has done more damage in one appearance on the football field than he has in the Octagon for three years.
McGregor hasn’t fought since 2021 — and hasn’t won a fight since his 2020 comeback victory over Donald Cerrone.
The jokes have also been flying thick and fast that McGregor should have used the same tactics in his brutal losses to Dustin Poirier in 2021.

“The type of tackles I would expect him to make,” one fan posted.
A third wrote: “McGregor playing footy is the funniest thing ever.”
McGregor could have been the hero when he came close to scoring from 30 yards out.
The Irishman latched onto a long ball over the top of the defence and he tried an audacious half-volley that cannoned off the top of the bar.
But it was not all good from McGregor, who did trip over the ball after receiving a short pass from a teammate.
McGregor and the UFC continue to tease a future return to the Octagon, but there are no signs the world will see him back in action any time soon.
