Conor McGregor Nuded Up For ESPN’s Body Issue, Claimed He Is “Made To Fuck”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Conor McGregor‘s cover photo for the upcoming ESPN Body Issue magazine.

Let’s not get it twisted: I like Conor McGregor. Any athlete who learns Portuguese phrases just so he can throw seven shades of shit in dedicating a fight to his Brazilian opponent’s homeland is A-OK in my book.

He’s a damned good entertainer, with a mouth that’s spewed some truly outrageous shit; the kind of things only a man with an ego the size of Ireland could say and get away with. He’s a master promoter, and the anti-heel that the UFC had been missing since Brock Lesnar‘s (first) retirement.
I also really like what ESPN Magazine‘s annual ‘Body Issue‘ represents: A desexualised (at least in conceptual spirit) look at the physical athletic form and the many guises that takes. Because elite athletes aren’t always chiselled statues cut directly from stone, they are 147kg Houston Texans nose tackle Vince Wilfork

…or Texas Rangers first baseman/absolute unit Prince Fielder

…or Chicago Red Stars/US Women’s National Team football star Christen Press, who by her own admission rocks a rig that is “100% a by-product of my sport,” in that she has “butt muscles, thigh muscles, and then my upper body is super skinny — except for in my shoulders, which you need for a little bit of strength to hold other players off the ball.

What I do have a hard time stomaching, however, is when the “Conor McGregor’s egotistical trash-talking” and “ESPN Body Issue” circles crash together, creating a Venn Diagram centre section of “Conor McGregor talks about how good at sex he is.

No sir. No thank you. Not for me.
McGregor’s definitely very naked shoot for ESPN has a fancy behind-the-scenes video, which includes an interview where does indeed claim that he, and all McGregor’s for that matter, are “made to fuck,” whatever the blue hell that’s supposed to mean.
Braggadocios penal hubris aside, there’s no denying that the man does have an astonishing physique; one that, upon viewing in the office, drew calls of “yumma” and immediate demands for peen from certain unnamed PEDESTRIAN.TV senior editorial staff.

Also, cop that textbook Irish arse: White, mostly flat, and probably very angry at times.
The ESPN Body Issue for 2016 is out now-ish, and also features fellow-cover athletes such as Von Miller, Dwayne Wade, beach volleyballer April Ross, and paratriathlete Allysa Seely. Most of the photos are circulating them internets as we speak, should you feel so inclined.
