Conor McGregor on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will only have one new episode this week and it comes on Monday March 25. That’s when you can see UFC star Conor McGregor.

McGregor is still the face of the UFC for many people who may only follow the sport from afar. The Irishman makes his fair share of headlines outside of the octagon as well. There certainly seems to be no better fighter when it comes to promoting a fight.

Those promotion skills will be on display on Monday night’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. McGregor isn’t trying to build hype for a UFC bout. Instead he is out on a marketing campaign for his Proper 12 brand of whiskey. Jimmy Fallon is much more comfortable talking about drinking than fighting, so it makes for a perfect match.

On Fallon’s Instagram page he shared some behind-the-scenes pictures of he and McGregor filming a remote piece. That should be what we get on Monday night rather than seeing McGregor in studio for a sit-down interview. Fallon has become increasingly better at writing and producing these types of segments. Given the subject matter and McGregor’s personality, it should be another popular clip.
