Many people love showing off their Conor McGregor impressions, whether it be mimicking the Irishman’s iconic sharp wit and voice, his ‘billionaire strut’, or his uniquely athletic fighting stances.

However, most could never dream of while mid-impression, having the real McGregor rolling up to greet you.

Well, for two men on the streets in Dublin one night, this was the very case.

After a night out and quite a few drinks at a Christmas party, Mark McGroarty and Paddy Lavelle engaged in a mock fight on the street impersonating the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion.

As well as copying the motions of McGregor, one of the men shouts out; “You’ll do nothing!” - a phrase of the Irishman’s made iconic during his infamous UFC 202 pre-fight press conference against Nate Diaz.

Not long after the pair laugh with passers-by at the impersonation, a black Cadillac Escalade pulls up before the window rolls down to reveal none other than ‘Notorious’ himself in the passenger seat.

McGroarty and Lavelle cannot quite believe their eyes as they rush up to the car and are amazed at the spectacular occurrence, holding their heads in disbelief. Meanwhile, McGregor clearly finds the situation very humorous and seems to appreciate the influence he clearly has in his home city of Dublin.

So, if you are ever busting out some MMA moves on the streets of Dublin, always be prepared for the UFC legend Conor McGregor himself to jump out and surprise you.

The Irish fighter turned 34 years old yesterday and coach John Kavanagh has revealed that McGregor is in just as good shape as ever, recovering well from the leg break he suffered in last year’s defeat to Dustin Poirier.

Kavanagh claimed that McGregor “hasn’t lost a beat” and is “looking great”, which is good news for fans hoping to see Mystic Mac’s return to the Octagon soon.

Many fans have been hopeful for a trilogy decider against old foe Nate Diaz. However, it looks more likely that McGregor’s next opponent will be against lightweight Michael Chandler, who has expressed a desire to fight the UFC’s biggest name in McGregor.

With a win, McGregor will restore some much needed respect back to his name following his back-to-back defeats against Dustin Poirier.

Furthermore, I’m sure it would be a comeback victory that would result in many people joining Mark McGroarty and Paddy Lavelle in mimicking the Irish fighting legend on the streets of Dublin in celebration after a few drinks.
