Former UFC champion Conor McGregor shared an unusual idea on social media: to build the world's largest statue of Jesus Christ in Ireland. At the same time, the athlete expressed admiration for the Armenian project, which is currently being implemented in Armenia.

"Armenia is building the largest statue of Christ in the world - and it looks great. Bravo, Armenia!" McGregor wrote, emphasizing that the monument will become not only a symbol of faith, but also an important part of national identity.

Armenia is building the world's largest statue of Jesus Christ on Mount Hatis, which will be 77 meters high (33 m statue, 44 m pedestal), which exceeds the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio. The construction, initiated by businessman Gagik Tsarukyan, began in 2022, and the opening is scheduled for 2026, but the project has caused controversy among environmentalists and the Armenian Apostolic Church
