The Irish fighter liked the post and shared it on his Instagram story. Thus, the Irish fighter is happy to own the same watch that the late rapper used to. After all, the post claimed the rapper to be someone “who was way ahead of his time” when it came to watches.

It also seems like the fighter is a big ‘2pac’ fan. He lost against Nate Diaz at UFC 196. But during their rematch, McGregor managed to win the fight via a unanimous decision.
