Conor McGregor has achieved indomitable fame in the world of MMA. All thanks to the startling shows he puts up inside the Octagon. ‘Mystic Mac’s’ lightning left-hand strikes have been enough to shut the lights off his opponents. He is also a two-weight-division champion in the UFC. A feat very few have been able to achieve to date. Recently, McGregor visited the Dominican Republic for the shooting of his film and was gifted a pack of 20 expensive cigars by the President of the country, Luis Abinader Corona himself. The pack of cigars would be costing as high as $1085.
