Conor McGregor is set for another career milestone of sorts this summer.
The UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is set to appear in ESPN The Magazine’s ‘Body Issue’, an annual edition which features photographs of famous athletes posing nude – not in the NSFW way, but in the tasteful way where all the important bits are covered.
ESPN announced McGregor’s inclusion in the magazine on Monday, with the full roster of athletes in this year’s set to be released on June 20. The magazine will be available to purchase from July 8.

McGregor will follow in the footsteps of several MMA fighters who’ve appeared in the Body Issue including former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (above) , current UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate (below), Invicta featherweight champion Cristiane Justino and her former husband, Cyborg Santos, and, arguably the greatest of them all, interim UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
