Conor McGregor is without a doubt the biggest name in the UFC. ‘The Notorious’ is the only fighter on the UFC roster who can consistently sell over a million PPV buys. A McGregor fight commands the attention of everyone from a hard-core fan to someone who has little to no idea about the UFC and MMA in general. 

Given his fame and popularity, it is no surprise that every time McGregor fights, the arena is packed with the biggest celebrities. White stated that UFC 264 had the most number of celebrities in attendance compared to any other fight card they had put on before. One such celebrity in attendance was Justin Bieber, who recently stopped by to visit ‘The Notorious’ following his nasty injury. 

The Instagram caption said, “JB and Big Foot, we rule Beverly Hills! God bless my brother! Backed by the highest power! Huge congrats on your @balenciaga campaign and your @drewhouse! Can’t wait to get to the show tomorrow! Legends Unite! #ProperPopstarz #BreakfastThenTifannys @justinbieber @properwhiskey”
