With Conor McGregor's ascension to stardom over the past three years, the Irishman has exploded into the mainstream, featuring as a repeat guest on The Conan O'Brien show, and has Hollywood knocking on his doorstep.

"The Notorious" was expected to feature in Vin Diesel's upcoming xXx sequel, 'xXx: The Return of Zander', but is reported to have pulled out of the movie after dedicating more time to his one and only obsession: mixed martial arts.

ESPN's Brett Okamoto broke the news on Sports Center yesterday.

As I mentioned on @SportsCenter, I'm told McGregor has canceled his planned appearance in Vin Diesel's XXX film.
