Conor McGregor could land on our €1 coin
A petition put to the Oireachtas calls for UFC Champ's head to be tails
A petition submitted to the Oireachtas Petitions Committee is calling for Conor McGregor to appear on the Irish €1 coin.
The UFC Featherweight Champion, who was yesterday confirmed for a tilt at the lightweight crown against Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC 197, is obviously something of a national treasure at this point, but now discussions will take place to put a price on his iconic status.
The petition, created by Patrick O’Leary, was received by the government on December 15, and according to the official Oireachtas website, will be considered today.
The chances, you'd figure, are pretty slim - but then again, the Notorious has proven that upsetting odds is something of a specialty of his.
Today, he's been on social media putting some of his famous positive vibes out there...
It would be a true honour for me to be immortalised on the €1 coin!
Thank you to my fans for the petition!Let's go Oireachtas! Vote YES :-)
