Enemies of Jon Snow (Kit Harington), beware! The upcoming "Game of Thrones" Season 7 is about to become even more exciting with the possibility of UFC fighter Conor McGregor being recruited by the King in the North.
"It's been agreed that McGregor will appear in one of the remaining two seasons of 'Game of Thrones,'" an insider told Sunday Life. The source added that one of the "Game of Thrones" Season 7 directors was actually a big fan of the strongman and made an effort to seek McGregor because he was believed to be a "perfect fit" for the show.
Rumors have been circulating that should McGregor find himself in "Game of Thrones" Season 7, he is going to be a part of Jon Snow's army that will help the bastard Stark take over and rule the seven kingdoms. It is possible that McGregor will be given a high position in Jon's military council. On the other hand, he may also act as Jon's champion in a duel.
As proven by his record in the field of mixed martial arts, McGregor would be a great addition to Jon Snow's cause. The reigning UFC Lightweight Champion and former UFC Featherweight Champion might even show some of his moves inside the ring as part of his scenes in "Game of Thrones" Season 7.
In fact, the MMA hero has some experience with a member of the "Game of Thrones" Season 7 cast. McGregor was seen last year throwing some punches with Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson, who portrays Gregor Clegane. The video of McGregor and "The Mountain" engaging in a fun exercise has since gotten over 23 million views.
As of late, there have been no official announcements from HBO regarding McGregor's participation in the show. Fans should stay tuned for more updates on the "Game of Thrones" Season 7.
