McGregor Calls On UFC To Sign Fellow ‘Mac’

McGregor believes his SBG Ireland teammate and fellow ‘Mac’ has what it takes to cut a bloody swathe through the UFC.

Conor McGregor is throwing his weight behind Danni “Mac” McCormack after her Road to UFC win last weekend.

You may not have even known there were two Road to UFC events on the 23rd of August, given how little the UFC promotes the international prospects tournament in North America. The show typically focuses on Asian talent, but there was an exception: Irish women’s flyweight McCormack, who defeated Qihui Yan via dominant decision.

“I wanted a finish but at least there’s lots of blood and let’s f—in’ fight,” she said after the win. “Because swear to God, that’s who I am. And I don’t know why I’m not already in the UFC because that’s what I’ve been doing for the last 10 fights. That’s who I am whether I win or lose, I f—in’ fight.”

“That’s why I’m playing this game, I don’t care about money, I’m here because I want to get in, get dirty, see who’s f—ing better and get some blood going.”

That interview led SBG Ireland teammate Conor McGregor to call on UFC CEO Dana White to sign another “Mac.”

“THIS IS A PROMO!” McGregor wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “In at the drop of a hat to beat and maul the much bigger girl. Finishing with a call out of the UFC’s current strawweight champion who is from the same region as her just beaten opponent. Magic! IRISH GOER WAR CRY!”

“Dana White announce her signing brother this is magic!”

McCormack is 9-2 as a pro and finished her amateur MMA career at 5-3. UFC matchmakers are aware of her, and after they told her to get some finishes she went and submitted Karolina Wojcik in her previous fight.

That’s probably what got her this last second opportunity on Road to UFC, but will the UFC overlook the lack of a stoppage given how blood and guts “Mac” was (and always is)? We certainly hope so.

UPDATE – It sounds like UFC matchmakers have said nah to Danni:

“No contract has been offered even after Friday night,” McCormack wrote on Instagram. “I have been told to stay ready for a short notic opportunity. If you think I should be signed let it be heard. DENY ME NO LONGER! In the meantime you will find me straight back in camp ready for anyone.”
