However, according to a report in The Sunday Times, Lynn Hunter, McGregor's press agent, believes that public announcement put McGregor in "an awkward position."
Hunter and Brendan Kenny, assistant chief executive Dublin City Council, have been reportedly been in correspondence and it is now "unlikely" McGregor will take up the offer.
"I understand that the lord mayor is under pressure to host such an event," Hunter said.
"However, it should have not have been announced to the press without Conor McGregor's agreement."
The lord mayor's office has issued an apology to McGregor's agent, and disputed any suggestions the event was being staged for political gain.
"Please accept our reassurances that we did not mean to place Conor in a difficult position regarding this civic reception. The lord mayor is not a candidate in the upcoming election and in no way was she extending the invitation for any political reason."
Maybe if McGregor defeats Rafael dos Anjos, at UFC 197 on March 5th, then the council could kill two birds with one stone and make him grand marshal of the St Patrick's Day parade?
Whatever they do, maybe run it by McGregor first.Explore more on these topics:
