Less than a week since Conor McGregor demanded a share of the UFC, he has been offered one. But it's not from who you might expect. It wasn't president Dana White. It wasn't either of the Fertitta brothers.
It was Mark Wahlberg.
Yes, the 45 year old actor holds a share in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He, along with Tom Brady, Sly Stallone and Conan O'Brien amongst others, bought shares in a newly-owned UFC back in July.
After being spotted in Beverly Hills, Wahlberg when questioned by TMZ about the Notorious' claims to a piece of the pie. He responded with the following:
Well, you know, he's got to cut the check like everyone else. In fact, you know what, I'll give him a piece of mine for free because he is the face of the UFC right now. He deserves that.
He's a hustler like me, so there's probably plenty of other opportunities for us to make money elsewhere.
There is nothing better than a Harry Redknapp style interview out of a car window. Especially a ridiculously random one like this.
We're not 100% sure that McGregor will have expected this declaration from Wahlberg. Nor are we so sure about Mark's hair. There's an interesting comment about a possible movie featuring the two. Hopefully better than Ted 2.
