Conor McGregor becomes Brand Ambassador of me88 in Southeast Asia

Asia’s online betting platform, me88, is set to make an impact with Irish professional mixed martial artist fighter and former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) double-champion, Conor McGregor, who will be representing the brand as official Brand Ambassador in Southeast Asia (SEA). 

Conor McGregor, also known as ‘The Notorious,’ is the first UFC fighter to hold titles in two weight divisions simultaneously and is undeniably one of the most decorated fighters in UFC history. Best-known for his boxing prowess and a mean pull-back left-handed counter, Conor’s victories come by way of spectacular knockouts that not only sealed him as a formidable opponent, but also an incredible draw to fans of the sport. Five of the top six highest selling pay-per-view events were headlined by Conor, who also fought in the biggest fight in combat sports history against Floyd Mayweather in 2017. Conor is also a keen businessman, having co-founded Irish whiskey distiller, Proper No. 12 in 2018 alongside other ventures.
