WATCH: Conor McGregor stars in short and bizarre comedy series about becoming a jockey

This is amazing... and so weird.

We've no doubt that Conor McGregor is an outstanding athlete and could excel at many sports if he set his mind on it, but horse racing, may not be one of those sports. Surprisingly, The Notorious is starring in a short comedy series alongside actor and comedian Jon Lovitz about how the UFC star will become the 13th jockey in the world's richest thoroughbred horse race, the Pegasus World Cup Invitational. No, we're not joking... https://twitter.com/mikedyce/status/816649027144024065?lang=en They even have the very first episode of the series uploaded online and we have to say, we're very impressed by the acting skills shown by the Dubliner... although he is just playing himself, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M47--fQDm8c Video via Pegasus World Cup Invitational In association with the release of the first episode, a press release was also issued with a Q&A with the man himself and it is peak Conor McGregor. https://twitter.com/mikedyce/status/816650333023772672?lang=en We expect to see more episodes over the coming days and you can check out a whole series of wacky videos on their YouTube page.
