If current two-division UFC World Champion Conor McGregor wants a piece of the UFC ownersip pie, a certain Hollywood A-lister might just have some for him.

TMZ Sports recently caught up with actor Mark Wahlberg and asked him if he would be willing to sell part of his ownership stake in the UFC to the Irish mega-star.

“Cut the check, baby,” said Wahlberg, as seen in the video above. “He’s got to cut the check. Everybody cuts a check if you want a piece. As a matter of fact, I will give him a piece of mine because you know he is the face of the UFC right now. But, also in business, you got to cut the check.”

Additionally, Wahlberg spoke about the possibility of working with him in the movie business down the line.

“You know what,” said Wahlberg. “He’s a hustler like me so there are probably a lot more opportunities out there for us to make and work together.”

Mark Wahlberg is willing to give Conor McGregor a piece of his ownership in the UFC because he believes the Irishman deserves it.

This past July the UFC sold for just over $4 billion. A short while later, it was revealed there was a group of more than 20 celebrities involved in the purchase. Among the group was film star and business man Mark Wahlberg, a longtime fan of the UFC.

Following his historic win at UFC 205, he announced he would not be returning to the cage unless the new owners offered him a piece of the pie. Another words, McGregor is looking to become a partial owner in the company. Wahlberg spoke with TMZ about the idea and says, McGregor deserves it so the UFC has to ‘cut the check’.

“Cut the check man,” Wahlberg said. “You know what and as a matter of fact I’ll give him a piece of mine, because you know what, he is the face of the UFC right now. He deserves that, but also you know, in business, you got to cut the check.”

Wahlberg being willing to part with a piece of his share isn’t for nothing, of course. He thinks there are plenty of avenues for McGregor and himself to make money.

“You know what he is a hustler like me, so there is probably a lot of other opportunities for us to go out there and earn money together,” Wahlberg said. “He is a movie waiting to happen so why not.”

It looks as though McGregor’s demand for a share in the company may be within reason, especially if more of the owners feel the way Mark Wahlberg does.

But ultimately it will come down to WME-IMG’s decision makers, and they’ve appeared focused on cutting down the costs of business by laying off just under 15 percent of the original staff. Overhead is one thing, however, and the UFC’s biggest star is another one altogether.

Maybe one of Hollywood’s biggest stars can help the deal get done.

MMA Fans are Clever, Unite to Make Fun of Mark Wahlberg

Mark Wahlberg said something that makes us wonder why publicists even have jobs these days if they go around letting their clients speak their minds, when he gave a recent interview to Men’s Journal magazine..

Mark Wahlberg said something that makes us wonder why publicists even have jobs these days if they go around letting their clients speak their minds, when he gave a recent interview to Men’s Journal magazine. The topic was on the 9/11 tragedy and Wahlberg responded:

On being scheduled to be on one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center

“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’”

To be fair, Wahlberg never should have been asked such a ridiculous question as of course, he would have given some macho and stupid inane pointless overzealous remark.

But in the wake of Wahlberg’s idiocy unintentional insensitivity, MMA fans have [for once] united in the Sherdog forums rather than feverishly type away anonymous insults at one another, and used their polished Photoshop skills to imagine what other major tragedies would have been prevented had only Mark Wahlberg been around to save the day.
