Conor McGregor Shows Bakayo Saka his ‘UFC Moves’
A video of MMA sporting legend Conor McGregor, 36, trying some UFC moves on Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka on the pitch after the north Londoners’ 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night has gone viral. The winger could be heard shouting: “Be careful. Be careful, man!”
Mikel Arteta’s side – thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and their aforementioned star boy, Saka – cruised to a comfortable victory on home turf against the Ligue 1 juggernauts, but plenty of fans are reacting to McGregor’s post-match antics with a fan favourite.
The Gunners picked up their first Champions League win of the season as they overcame PSG thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.
Having pulled out of his most recent fight with Michael Chandler due to a toe injury, the Notorious One is enjoying some down-time and managed to find himself in attendance for Arsenal’s latest venture on the European stage – and his post-match interaction with Saka has gone viral.
McGregor Tries UFC Moves on Saka Post-Match
Despite being a hardcore Manchester United fan, McGregor was in attendance for the Gunners’ dispatch of the French giants as the former continued their unbeaten streak in the 2024/25 campaign across all competitions.
After the match had finished and the Emirates Stadium was beginning to look empty, McGregor and Saka took the pitch and, after roleplaying as a footballer, the former showed the latter some of his best UFC moves, such as his ferocious leg kicks and attempts to grapple him to the ground.
That said, the Irishman was obviously going easy on the Hale End graduate. Saka, perhaps scared for his life that a former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight champion, could be heard saying: “Be careful. Be careful, man!”
