UFC superstar Conor McGregor became a global brand thanks to his career as a UFC fighter. You either love him to the core or can’t stand his face; there’s no middle ground. But if you’re a fan of MMA, you can’t ignore him. Such is the widespread influence of The Notorious. Especially around 2016, Mystic Mac’s distinctive stance and movement in the Octagon piqued the interest of young MMA enthusiasts.
And a couple of hardcore McGregor fans took to display some of his agile stunts on the streets of Dublin. The students probably had the best bar story to brag about to their friends after McGregor himself showed up in front of them.

The lucky fans almost didn’t recognize the former dual division champion, but quickly came to their senses.
Conor McGregor loves to surprise unsuspecting fans
Conor McGregor pulled up to two fans in his Black Cadillac escalade and interrupted their make-believe MMA match back in 2016. A viral video surfaced that showed two college students tumbling onto each other on the streets of Dublin.
In this video, two boys are having a jolly night on the streets of Dublin. And, being drunk out of their minds, the young men decided to show off their MMA moves to the bystanders. Amusingly, they copied one of their fellow countrymen as they pretended to fight each other.
