The agent for Ultimate Fighting Championship superstar Conor McGregor says the featherweight and lightweight champion is open to working with World Wrestling Entertainment.

Audie Attar told ESPN's 5ive Rounds podcast that the 28-year-old Irishman would listen to offers from Vince McMahon's pro wrestling giant.

"I think it's all about business, man," Attar said in the podcast. "If they're going to come with an offer, we're willing to entertain it. We're here. So, have their people call his people -- which is me. And we can have a conversation."

The WWE's vice president of talent, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, sat cageside for McGregor's victory over Eddie Alvarez at Madison Square Garden earlier this month and spoke favourably of McGregor working for the company in some capacity.

"He could come over, he's got it all, man - he's got the personality, the skills, the talk," Levesque said. "He's an entertainer, for sure. "What does he walk around at? 180lbs? I have smaller guys now in the WWE. We have 200lb guys who are stars. You don't need to be 300lbs any more."

In the lead-up to his UFC 202 fight with Nate Diaz, McGregor took a number of shots at WWE wrestlers, questioning their toughness.

"For the most part those WWE guys are [expletives]," said McGregor. "To be honest, they're messed-up [expletives] if you ask me. Fair play to Brock [Lesnar] he got in and fought, but at the end of the day he's juiced up to the [expletive] eyeballs, so how can I respect that?"

He did, however, praise the company's business acumen.

"There are some dons in that wrestling game," McGregor said. "The McMahons -- they're dons, Triple H is a don, The Rock is a don, but the rest of them are [expletives]. I don't know, I haven't really thought about that to be honest. That’s a little more show business. This is the fight business."

While Attar says that the company has yet to make any overtures towards McGregor, wrestling and mixed-martial arts journalist Dave Meltzer reported earlier this month that the WWE was very interested.

If McGregor were to get involved with the WWE, it wouldn't be the first instance that a star from combat sports worked with the company.

Boxer Floyd Mayweather worked a match against Paul "Big Show" Wight at WrestleMania 24 in 2008, while former UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey was involved at in an angle at WrestleMania 31 in 2015 with Levesque, his wife Stephanie McMahon and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn, both former UFC champions, embarked on full-time WWE careers after leaving the company.
