Celebrity can be measured in all different kinds of ways. When "Saturday Night Live" finally decides to parody a public figure, that's a pretty good one.

Now, UFC champion Conor McGregor can add himself to that list after the show parodied him during the latest episode hosted by WWE superstar John Cena.

The skit called "Where'd Your Money Go" featured McGregor -- as played by Alex Moffat -- alongside Cena as New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, Bobby Moynihan as golfer John Daly and Kenan Thompson as Charles Barkley, the game show's host.

Now that "Saturday Night Live" has parodied McGregor on the show, maybe the next step would be inviting him to serve as host.

Former UFC women's champion Ronda Rousey actually became the first mixed martial artist to host the long running show earlier this year, but McGregor would certainly be a big land for "Saturday Night Live" if they could sway him to appear.
