We all know how dangerous Connor McGregor is once he steps inside the octagon, but it turns out he is equally as dangerous once he steps on to the diamond.

The former UFC featherweight champion was in Chicago on Tuesday night, and threw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field, before the Chicago Cubs hosted the Minnesota Twins.

McGregor is a man of many talents. He’s a mixed martial artist, a world champion, somewhat of a boxer, a hell of a business man, and an equally good trash talker. One thing he is not, is a future Cy Young winner.

Much better in the octogon then the diamond

The Dublin native took the mound, dressed to the nines in a skin tight checkered suit, and let his best fast ball fly. Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom was sitting behind the plate, but McGregor missed him by about 20 feet wide and 10 feet high. Luckily for the fans sitting behind home plate the net stopped the wild pitch before it knocked anyone out.

Tonight wasn’t the first time we saw McGregor try his hand at American sports. Three years ago he was at AT&T Stadium for a Cowboys game, and displayed his quarterbacking abilities, or lack-there-of before kickoff. It is safe to say, after seeing him make the unorthodox throw, Jerry Jones didn’t rush down from the owners box to offer him a contract.
