Conor McGregor Stars in a Burger King Commercial

Away from UFC, Conor McGregor surprised everyone this week with a commercial for fast food chain Burger King. In the advertisement, the Irishman is seen with the restaurant's new spicy chicken sandwich.

And to generate even more excitement, Conor McGregor posted a photo on his social media with a controversial phrase. "The undisputed champion (of UFC) and the undisputed spicy champion", were the words that accompanied the image.

However, Conor McGregor did not imagine that the phrase would catch the attention of UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway, who ironically commented on the advertisement starring the Irishman, through his Twitter.

"You went from being the king of Ireland to being the 'chicken' king. I'll be waiting for the meal on April 7", said Max Holloway. On that day, Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov will compete for the lightweight title, a championship that Conor McGregor was stripped of.
