It's been a whirlwind few days for Conor McGregor as he continues to dominate the headlines following his historic 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo at UFC 194.

The finish has cemented 'The Notorious' as the biggest draw in all of mixed martial arts, with word of his Octagon exploits apparently reaching as far as Hollywood.

"We talked about him [McGregor] for something," Wahlberg said. "We like him. "Absolutely, in the right role he could be great."
