In 2017, the Irishman defeated Eddie Alvarez to become the two-division champion of UFC. Hence, he was still in the party mode and after the race, McGregor headed to the Mansion Nightclub in Liverpool.

It was one of the biggest star-studded events of the year and McGregor made it grand with his appearance. “We’ve had lots of celebrities at the club,” said promoter Michael Ellis.
“But this has to be the biggest event we’ve ever been a part of in the six years we’ve been open. It’s been on another level. The reaction he gets is ridiculous. Wherever he goes, it’s madness. At the airport, as soon as he touched on our soil, people were hanging out of the windows trying to see him.” He added. (H/T: Mirror)
