Less than two weeks after his historic victory at UFC 205, when he became the
first fighter to hold titles in multiple weight classes simultaneously, talk of
whats next for Conor McGregor has continued to dominate headlines.

2016 for the birth of his first child, and he isnt expected back in the Octagon
until at least May, per UFC president Dana White. At the same time, talks about
a superfight in boxing with retired champion Floyd Mayweather just wont seem to
go away.But what about a third option -- the idea of McGregor entering the
scripted world of pro wrestling during his upcoming hiatus from mixed martial
arts, which coincides conveniently with WWEs WrestleMania 33 card on April 2 in
Orlando, Florida?According to his agent, Audie Attar, who appeared Tuesday on
ESPNs 5ive Rounds podcast, its something McGregor is willing to entertain -- as
long as the money is right.I think its all about business, man, Attar said. If
[WWE] is going to come with an offer, we are willing to entertain it. We are
here. Have their people call his people -- which is me. We can have a
conversation.The topic of a McGregor crossover into sports entertainment picked
up steam when executive and 14-time WWE world champion Paul Triple H Levesque
was in attendance at UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Levesque gave
an interview with a British newspaper in which he said McGregor would be a
perfect fit for WWE.He could come over, hes got it all, man, Levesque told the
Daily Telegraph. Hes got the personality, the skills, the talk. Hes an
entertainer, for sure.Levesque went on to compare McGregor to Mayweather, who
competed in a 2008 match at WrestleMania XXIV against The Big Show?during a
brief retirement from boxing. Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey also made
a?memorable appearance at WrestleMania 31 in 2015, nearly stealing the show when
she teamed up with?The Rock?to exchange smack talk (and a hip-toss) opposite
Triple H and his wife?Stephanie McMahon.Attar said McGregor has not had direct
talks with WWE or Levesque as of yet, at UFC 205 or elsewhere.I think its
phenomenal that a guy like Triple H was at the fights, Attar said. I heard he
said some positive things, which is always good to hear.McGregor made headlines
in August during a teleconference ahead of his UFC 202 rematch with Nate Diaz,
when the Irish star called out WWE/UFC crossover star?Brock Lesnar?for being
juiced up to his f---ing eyeballs and?referred to WWE superstars in general as
massive p---ies.To many, the comments were seen as McGregor playing the smart
businessman, planting seeds for a potential move to WWE. He went on to double
down on his original comments by taking more shots on social media.Its
ultimately like, look -- I think Conor had his say via social media at times,
but he also is someone that appreciates people that sacrifice and train and are
dedicated to their craft, whatever it may be, Attar said.Would McGregor be
willing to go as far as having a formal match with the WWE, similar to what
Mayweather did, if the two sides came to terms?Again, I think ultimately Conor
will say, Let me talk to my friend Benjamin [Franklin] to see how many of his
friends hes bringing with him before we talk about what the obligations are,
Attar said.

at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. RIO DE JANEIRO --
Brazils new coach is tearing up South American World Cup qualifying. In six
matches in charge, Adenor Leonardo Bacchi -- known universally as Tite
(pronounced Chi-Chi) -- has won all six.Now hes offering to challenge Europes
best, including defending champion Germany, as the five-time World Cup winners
prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where they are likely to be among the
favorites.Lets play against Italy away, Tite said Monday in a 35-minute
interview with The Associated Press. Spain, Germany, Portugal away.Tite also
mentioned playing England at Wembley, which he called the temple of
football.Tite, speaking in his modest office surrounded by TVs, a blackboard,
and books, said he didnt expect his teams quick success. But now that its come
and with Brazil not playing in next years Confederations Cup -- the World Cup
warmup -- he must look elsewhere.Since we wont play in the Confederations Cup to
feel the heat, the adrenaline, we will try another way. He said Brazil needs to
play away so we feel that weight. So we have a solid performance in different
venues.Tite is certainly interested in Germany, which humiliated Brazil 7-1 in
the World Cup semifinals 2 + years ago in the Brazilian city of Belo
Horizonte.The first step is to play a friendly against them, wherever they want
in Germany, he said.The European schedule could become a reality quickly.
Brazil, which leads South American qualifying, could officially qualify for
Russia in its next two qualifiers in March against Uruguay and Paraguay.Brazil
defeated Argentina 3-0 and Peru 2-0 in its last two qualifiers in November, and
moved to No. 2 in the world rankings behind Argentina.Brazil has become less
dependent on Barcelona star Neymar in the last few matches since Tite took over
after Dunga was fired.In the meantime, he has discovered several rising stars
that have made Brazil a team -- not a one-player show.If Brazil depends only on
Neymar there will be a problem with Brazil, not with Neymar, Tite explained.
Brazil needs the individual creativity of Neymar, Philippe Coutinho, Douglas
Costa. But it needs the collective creativity that sometimes people dont pay
attention to.Tite also said that Neymars clash withh Spanish tax authorities was
personal though he added that theres not much he can do about
it.ddddddddddddTite is counting on improvement from his No. 9, 19-year-old
Gabriel Jesus, who is moving to Manchester City in January from Brazil club
Palmeiras. He expects him to be as good in Europe as hes been in Brazil.His
level of performance will be very similar, with some tactical adjustments, of
course, Tite said.Asked about investigations into CBF President Marco Polo del
Nero, who has been indicted by U.S. authorities for corruption, Tite said those
responsible are the ones that have to pay.He declined to say more, but last year
he signed a petition asking for Del Nero to resign.Tite will be on the road in
the next few days. On Thursday he is off to Spain to see Barcelona play Real
Madrid. A big believer in scouting his players, he also expects to watch
Brazilian players at Paris Saint-Germain.The former coach of Sao Paulo club
Corinthians, Tite is also a student of the game. He is reading former Manchester
United manager Alex Fergusons autobiography, and the copy already is full of
footnotes and notations.But his main inspiration is Bayern Munichs coach Carlo
Ancelotti, who allowed him to be an observer in 2014 at Real Madrid.Ancelottis
teams are more balanced, Tite said. Its a more Italian defense and creativity
from the midfield forward. I admire his work and also his discreet profile. I am
also like that.When he is not working, Tite clings to his family in Rio. His son
Matheus is one of his key scouts. And his wife Rose keeps him down to earth
during their early morning walks.Hes also thinking beyond the 2018 World Cup.
But he suggested nothing will be as exciting as the next 19 months.I am honestly
making a dream come true, he said. Anything that comes after Brazil will not be
bigger than this.---Mauricio Savarese on Twitter:
