The 28-year-old, who also features in a new UFC video games, has had one of the most successful careers in the world of MMA.
“This is completely outside of the fight world. I didn’t think I would get on the front cover of a UFC video game,” Conor told Rolling Stones.
“But I’m happy to be here. I get approached all the time with roles and all this stuff. Not many of them are interesting but this one was definitely of interest to me so I went with it and it’s been good.”

In the video game, Conor plays bad guy Captain Bradley Fillion and revealed that he’s a big fan of Call Of Duty.
“I’m on a roll and this stuff is bigger than Hollywood right now.
“These games are grossing more than Hollywood blockbusters, so it seems like the right fit since I’m grossing more than anyone in the fight game also,” he added.
“The offer came about so naturally and I thought it over. It’s such a big game. I play a good load of games, but there’s only two games I actually really play that I’ve been obsessed with: The UFC game and Call of Duty.
“Now I’m in both of them. It’s very surreal.”
