CONOR McGREGOR is the “perfect fit” for WWE, according to Stephanie McMahon.
UFC superstar McGregor is searching for another big challenge after losing his mega-millions boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather in August.
And WWE’s chief brand officer McMahon believes the Irishman can be a sensation if he switches mixed martial arts disciplines.
The Mirror reports the daughter of WWE owner Vince McMahon as saying: “I think Conor would be a perfect fit with WWE.
“He certainly has the personality and the athletic ability, the appeal.
“He speaks his mind, he’s very genuine and authentic and he has a hell of a Vince McMahon swagger.”
Dubliner McGregor, known as the Notorious, 29, is set up for life financially after his hugely-hyped showdown with unbeaten Mayweather in Las Vegas.
But his sporting hunger seems as voracious as ever after that defeat.

And WWE icon Chris Jericho has already described McGregor as a cert to make the move
Jericho told Sports Illustrated in August: “Will Conor McGregor end up in the WWE? I think it’s a no-brainer.
“It might not be this year or the year after that because there’s a lot of money that you got to spend to get him in there.
“But a guy that yappy, who knows the concept of cutting a wrestling promo – I think Conor will definitely end up there, it’s just a matter of when he wants to.”
