Business Collaboration with McGregor
Ebanie Bridges, the IBF bantamweight champion, has already set her sights on retirement as she enters into a business partnership with UFC legend Conor McGregor. Bridges will defend her belt against Miyo Yoshida in San Francisco on Saturday, sponsored by McGregor's Forged Irish Stout. She expressed her excitement about the collaboration, stating that she can learn a lot from McGregor's business ventures and finds his success inspiring. The partnership is expected to continue for the remainder of Bridges' career.
Strong Mutual Benefit
Bridges, 37, was originally set to face Avril Mathie, 36, in a highly anticipated match dubbed the "Battle of the Boobs," but Mathie withdrew from the fight. Meanwhile, McGregor, 35, has been recovering from a leg injury sustained in July 2021. However, he is now preparing for his return to the octagon against Michael Chandler, 37. Bridges revealed that McGregor has been training intensively, although she does not actively follow his social media accounts.
A Winning Combination
The partnership between Bridges and McGregor is seen as a perfect match, with Bridges being a valuable asset to McGregor's brand while also benefiting from his influence and support. The two athletes share a strong camaraderie and are excited to collaborate on future projects. Bridges' upcoming fight in San Francisco will be an opportunity for her to showcase her skills while proudly representing McGregor's Forged Irish Stout.
