This seems like something you’d only see in the movies. Two Irish guys were impersonating Conor McGregor on the streets of Dublin when McGregor rolled up in the passenger seat of a Cadillac Escalade.
No, seriously.
The driver rolled down his window and called the men over. They freaked out when they realized it was McGregor, and the UFC champion and his fans exchanged fist-bumps.

Though one fan asserted it was not McGregor, the man who tweeted the video responded with photo evidence (via McGregor’s Instagram) that showed he was wearing the same coat last night.
It also appears McGregor was in an SUV in those photographs.
This guy probably gets impersonated on the streets of Ireland all the time. The current UFC lightweight champion and former featherweight champ is like a God in his home country.
With that being said, this is the most serendipitous sports fan story we’ve seen in a long time. It’s also a welcome reprieve from seemingly every McGregor story being centered on the fight with Floyd Mayweather that’s probably never going to happen.
