Well, who saw this coming? ? After vowing to curb immigration and ‘shore up Irish culture,’ a famous mixed martial arts fighter has officially pulled out of Ireland’s presidential race.
Apparently, the world of politics isn’t quite like the octagon. The fighter complained that the nomination rules were a ‘straitjacket,’ preventing a ‘true democratic contest.’ It seems the rigorous process of, you know, running a country, was a bit too much for someone who prefers headlocks to legislative loopholes.
He even posted on X (formerly Twitter, because of course he did) that after ‘careful reflection’ and ‘consulting with his family,’ he decided it ‘was not an easy decision, but it is the right one at this moment in time.’ Perhaps the ‘family consultation’ involved someone kindly pointing out that punching out a political opponent is generally frowned upon. ?
