Conor McGregor to Jerry Jones: I’m going to make UFC event at Cowboys Stadium happen

UFC star Conor McGregor made headlines by attending a marquee NFL matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars, with Cowboys players doing his “billionaire strut” celebrations throughout the game. McGregor gave the world’s most valuable sports franchise a pre-game pep talk, and met with team owner Jerry Jones. Obviously this worked, because the Cowboys surprisingly thumped the Jaguars 40-7 in front of their home fans at AT&T Stadium (aka Cowboys Stadium) in Arlington.

NFL Films captured some footage of the former two-division champion chatting with Jones, and as Jerry listed off all of the impressive things about his stadium, McGregor vowed to bring the UFC to “JerryWorld,” which can seat well over 100,000 people.
