Jim Ross Says Talks About His Involvement With Global Force Wrestling, His Health, Conor McGregor

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross posted his latest blog on his website today, where he shot down rumors of announcing for GFW, and spoke about Saturday's insane UFC 189 event. You can see highlights below, or read the full post at this link.

His health:

"Having a minor medial procedure done Tuesday morning that will lay me up for a few days but shutting down and catching up on rest before I head to Charlotte in late July is timely."

Global Force Wrestling:

"I am not going to be affiliated with Global Force Wrestling at this time but I certainly support Jeff and Karen Jarrett's dream and will do all that I can to help them succeed. One never says never but I'm simply not ready to return to regular, weekly TV Wrestling."

UFC 189:

"Great UFC 189 PPV Saturday night. I watched it with Matt Lindland, former UFC fighter and currently US Olympic team Greco Roman Wrestling coach, along with Jerry Brisco and other friends. We got to see the final, two bouts and they were scintillating. Conor McGregor is money and it will be interesting to see if he is going to wind up as a heel or face in UFC. The thousands of Irish fans on hand made it clear that the controversial McGregor was God-like to them on PPV. I predicted that the Lawler-MacDonald fight would be the fight of the night and it was. The event had a WWE-like feel to it inasmuch as the live music entrances gave the event a sports entertainment extravaganza feel which will likely piss off many MMA purists who don't approve of me talking about their beloved sport in any context."

Jim Ross will also be appearing at NWA Legends Fanfest from July 30 through August 2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. You can get tickets at this link.
