One of the world's leading MMA athletes has appeared to declare an interest in buying Liverpool, who have reportedly been put up for sale by the club's owners.
Liverpool 'Put Up For Sale' By Club Owners
Earlier this week, England-based publication The Athletic reported that the Reds had been put in the shop window by current owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG).
Their decision comes amid increasing pressure on the ownership group, whose perceived lack of investment in the first-team squad has resulted in the team's rapid decline, at least in the eyes of frustrated supporters.
Aggrieved fans have publicly protested against FSG in recent weeks, with Liverpool currently lying eighth on the Premier League table after winning just five of their first 13 games.
UFC icon Conor McGregor, meanwhile, has said he would be interested in getting involved at the club, telling a fan on social media that he has "requested information" on the matter.
I WOULD LOVE IT! I requested my information on this, yes. Soon as I heard. What a turn of events! What a club! @LFC https://t.co/HD0ELlhKOH

The Irishman is believed to have amassed net worth of around $200 million (R3.5 billion), after he ranked first in Forbes' 2021 list of the world's highest-paid athletes.
Despite his wealth, the 34-year-old would not have the financial power to purchase Liverpool without the backing of a bigger group, with FSG's valuation of the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League winners still unknown.
