Conor McGregor may have had to give up his featherweight title (though certainly not willingly), but it's fine, because he's trying his hand at a new career entirely: horse racing.

In a promotion for the upcoming Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia, California, McGregor announced in a pseudo press conference.

"Alexander left when he had no worlds left to conquer," McGregor says in the ad. "That's exactly how I feel. Today, I would like to announce to the world that I will become the number one jockey on the planet with the help of my new trainer."

Guess who his new trainer is?
