Former MMA fighter Conor McGregor has announced that he intends to seek to become the next president of Ireland — but wants to change how the nomination process works to enable him to do so.
McGregor, who last week lost his appeal against a High Court jury's finding that he raped Nikita Hand, made the announcement on social media on Monday evening.
