Every time UFC superstar Conor McGregor steps into the octagon, there's no shortage of celebrities in attendance for the match.

While the Irish brawler became the first ever simultaneous two division champ after taking down Eddie Alvarez this past weekend at UFC 205 in New York, one of the most interesting spectators was WWE vice president of talent Paul "Triple H" Levesque.Triple H took to Twitter to share about McGregor's performance on Saturday.

Levesque tweeted a gif of Conor McGregor's victory march cut with a clip of Vince McMahon walking into the ring at the WWE, and the two have a remarkably similar gait. Triple H tweeted the gif with the caption: "#WhenYouKnowYoureTheMan @VinceMcMahon @TheNotoriousMMA #UFC205."

Levesque has made an effort to acquire talent for the WWE from all over the world, and McGregor totally seems to fit the bill for a wrestling superstar in Triple H's opinion.

"He could come over, he's got it all, man," Levesque said while chatting with the Telegraph in the UK. "He's got the personality, the skills, the talk. He's an entertainer, for sure."

While Triple H didn't exactly admit that he was in attendance at UFC 205 on a recruiting mission to begin pursuing McGregor, but it's clear that Levesque would be totally down for the 28-year-old MMA fighter to join the WWE.

"But yeah, he could do just as well as Floyd Mayweather when he fought the Big Show," Levesque said. "That really worked. Conor could do it for sure."

At this time, McGregor hasn't expressed any interest in joining the WWE. In fact, back in August he even took threw shade at the WWE roster when he tweeted: "I didn't mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans. What I meant to say was that I'd slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday's."

McGregor may not see any one on the WWE roster as a worthy opponent, but he could likely see a huge payday from stepping into the ring.
