Going out for a few festive drinks is nothing out of the ordinary. Neither is the sight of two MMA fans recording themselves having a play fight in the streets of Dublin after a few beers pretending to be their hero, Conor McGregor.
What did come as a total shock - and no doubt the best Christmas present either men could have asked for - was the man himself driving up in his black Chrysler, stopping, winding down the window and giving them the thumbs up.

Once the pair get over the shock of who was sat in the passenger seat they burst out laughing and fist bump the 28-year-old Irishman - and all the while it is being caught on camera.


The next morning McGregor took to Instagram to tell his followers that he was going to "break" Floyd Mayweather's face.
Earlier, boxing legend Mayweather had invited his 14 million Instagram followers to caption a video of McGregor suffering his first submission loss to Nate Diaz. Mayweather offered $10,000 for his favourite, which is yet to be revealed.
