UFC champion Conor McGregor to appear on ESPN The Magazine’s Body Issue

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor will be the latest MMA fighter to pose nude for ESPN The Magazine’s Body Issue, which hits newsstands in July.

Conor McGregor won’t be fighting on July 9th’s UFC 200 pay-per-view, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be seeing McGregor at all. In fact, on the day before UFC 200, you can purchase ESPN The Magazine’s 2016 Body Issue, which will include “The Notorious” one. The news was tweeted on Monday morning.

The full list of athletes set to (tastefully) post dude will be released on June 20th.

McGregor joins Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey, Jon Jones, Cris Cyborg, and Evangelista Santos as the only MMA fighters to appear in ESPN’s annual Body Issue series. Yesterday, his exclusive interview with ESPN aired on SportsCenter, his first full-length media conversation since he was pulled from UFC 200. Everything from his fighting future, the sequence of events leading up to his UFC 200 removal,and any possible fight with Floyd Mayweather. The UFC is reportedly trying to book his welterweight rematch with Nate Diaz for UFC 202 in August.

So once again, July 8th is when the Body Issue comes out, with McGregor as one of the biggest names on the list. It is unknown whether or not he’ll be on the front cover, which was the case for Rousey last year.
