Conor McGregor has never been one to stay in one lane. From his Irish whiskey empire and pub ownership to founding Green Back Records and investing in Bitcoin, the UFC superstar has carved out a reputation as an ambitious and unpredictable entrepreneur. Whether it’s teasing a comeback to the Octagon or launching a surprise venture, the Irishman thrives on keeping the world on its toes.

This week was no different for Conor McGregor, who once again found himself in the spotlight—but this time far from the Octagon. After UFC President Dana White shut down rumors of his return to fighting, the Irish superstar shifted headlines with a surprising business move. ‘The Notorious‘ is now being linked to OnlyFans, the London-based content subscription platform best known for its association with adult entertainment, just as the company is reportedly eyeing an $8 billion sale.

So why the sudden interest? Conor McGregor’s timing raises eyebrows, as OnlyFans faces growing scrutiny over its brand image. Although the platform is home to a variety of creators—including athletes, musicians, and comedians—it remains heavily defined by its adult content. With multiple countries reportedly considering restrictions or outright bans, the timing may present a perfect opportunity for the company to sell. Never one to shy away from bold moves, the Irishman turned to Instagram to stir the pot once again, posting: “I am in serious talks to buy this.”

OnlyFans was founded in 2016 by Tim Stokely, who had financial help from his banker father. By 2018, ownership had shifted to Ukraine-born businessman Leonid Radvinsky. Now, the question looms—could Conor McGregor be the next to take over? Only time will tell. Adding to the urgency, the company has recently come under fire in Sweden. A new law passed by the Swedish Parliament—set to take effect on July 1—could lead to jail time for users who purchase custom-made content from the platform.

This development has only intensified speculation around the platform’s future and the potential for a major ownership shake-up. As eyes turn to the Irishman and his next move, one thing remains certain—we already know his “only” demand when it comes to stepping back into the Octagon. Let’s take a look.

What is Conor McGregor’s “only” demand from Dana White & Co.?

Back in December, Conor McGregor made headlines with one of his most surprising announcements yet—he was stepping into the boxing ring for an exhibition match against YouTuber-turned-WWE star Logan Paul. “I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India,” ‘The Notorious’ wrote, unveiling plans for a blockbuster bout set to take place at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium. The event was intended to be part of India’s “Visit India” tourism push.

Although the fight never materialized, it underscored one key point: Conor McGregor’s clear desire to compete in a stadium setting. And why not? Stadiums bring in massive live gates—and when it’s a the Irishman’s comeback on the line, expectations are sky-high that every record will be broken. His stadium ambition gained even more steam following the success of WrestleMania 41, which packed out Allegiant Stadium just last month. Riding that momentum, McGregor took to X (formerly Twitter) and made his demand loud and clear: “I’ll only come back to a stadium.” Fans were all in on the idea.

But UFC President Dana White didn’t share the enthusiasm. Following the UFC 306 “One and Done” event at The Sphere last year, White explained why stadium shows just don’t fit the UFC model, especially considering the production costs that eventually hit fans’ wallets. “When I put on a live event on Saturdays, I want the best in-house experience people can possibly have, and I want the same experience on television,” White told reporters at a press conference. “I just don’t understand why I would need to do a stadium when, for what? I can get more people in there? It just doesn’t interest me.”
