Conor McGregor is one of the most famous sportsmen in the world. Even though he lost a massive fight to Dustin Poirier, Conor’s popularity will endure. He is a guaranteed money-maker and will always be of immense value for the UFC or any celebrity that gets endorsed by Conor.

One of the most famous men in the UAE is chef Nusrat Gokce, who runs the Nusr-Et restaurant in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. People remember him from his viral video in 2017 doing the ‘salt bae’, which is him sprinkling salt over a piece of steak in an exaggerated manner.

He hosted Conor at his restaurant in Dubai and the pair even did the ‘Billionaire Walk’, invented by Vince McMahon and popularized by Conor, together.
