UFC star Conor McGregor knows how to pull the crowd. As palpable by his PPV records, the former UFC champion remains an arena seller due to his unprecedented popularity. Significantly, the Irishman’s recent sporadic appearances inside the Octagon didn’t affect his stock. The Irish fighter exploited his fame effectively as he opted for other sources of revenue to add to his wealth. One of the results of the diversification was the venture of Proper Number 12 Whiskey. Notably, the brand which is synonymous with ‘Notorious’ recently released a special campaign related to Valentine’s Day.

The special attraction of the campaign, however, was the involvement of the Dublin-born. Markedly, he took to his Instagram handle and posted the new campaign for the Irish apple flavor of the popular drink. While the 34-year-old officially performs the brand’s ambassador duties, this time he exhibited his special talent for acting.
