Conor McGregor is ready to branch out of UFC. The champ made an announcement that he is tackling his next sport ... and it is not Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a boxing ring.

McGregor says he is ready to become the "pound-for-pound best jockey on the planet" in a promotional video for the Pegasus World Cup, a $12 million horse race scheduled to take place Jan. 28 at Gulfstream Park.

The UFC mega-star has an interesting trainer, too, actor, Jon Lovitz, who weighs in with some comments.
