Conor McGregor agrees to join Vin Diesel in next ‘xXx’ movie
Especially when the network sets new ratings records with “The California Kid” at the helm, as it recently did with UFC 194 this past Saturday (Dec. 12, 2015) leading into the “Aldo vs. McGregor” pay-per-view (PPV) event in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Conor McGregor is known for his loud mouth and brash style.
Now, to the joy of fight fans everywhere, a newly crowned “king” may be joining Rousey on the big screen sooner rather than later.
Vin wrote alongside the pic: “Timing and p Conor McGregor “WILL star in new Vin Diesel xXx movie ” recision…”
Conor McGregor WILL star in the latest installment of Vin Diesel’s xXx franchise, according to reports.
Another actor jumping on the McGregor hype train is Mark Wahlberg. A pre-kick-to-the-face Ronda Rousey had a bit part in Furious 7, although it sounds like McGregor’s part in xXx could be a little more substantial.
McGregor made mention of a possible trip or two to Hollywood to film movie roles before his win over Aldo. Wahlberg is popular for his starring roles in the movies “Transformers: Age of Extinction”, “The Fighter”, “The Departed” and “Boogie Nights”, among others.
Let’s just hope that this actually happens and we get some sort of Rocky III-style movie where McGregor takes on Wahlberg in the ring.
