A Trump and McGregor connection is growing stronger through business partnerships.
While it’s well known the families have shared plenty of mutual respect over the years, but things just got a lot more official. New filings have revealed that the Trumps are doubling down on McGregor, making the move from mere supporters to major business partners with a massive investment in McGregor’s MMA Inc., the NYSE-listed martial arts training company.
According to recent stock exchange filings, the company just closed a $3 million initial investment led by American Ventures (a Trump family vehicle) and Donald Trump Jr., though—the deal includes a promise of up to $20 million more in share purchases.
It follows on from Trump’s previous role in which he serves as a strategic advisor to the company, working alongside McGregor to scale the business globally. McGregor welcomed the move on social media, calling Trump Jr. his “friend and now business partner.”
While the boardroom talk is heating up, the rumours about Conor’s return to the cage are reaching a fever pitch. The Irishman has made it clear he intends to feature on the much anticipated UFC White House card in June, combining the biggest star in the sport with the biggest event of all time.
Should that come to pass, it will only continue to cement McGregor’s relationship with America’s most powerful family.
