Conor McGregor finally got the chance to meet one of his idols.
Rap legend Snoop Dogg had a concert in Dublin on Monday evening but took some time to hang out with ‘Notorious’ and visit his famous Black Forge Inn pub.
Both men shared the same picture of them posing together to Instagram where they have more than 128 million combined followers.
Snoop is wearing an Ireland rugby jersey and flexing, while McGregor has his shirt unbuttoned to expose his signature tattoos and a massive smile plastered across his face.
Before the ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ hitmaker shared a picture of him with ‘Mystic Mac’ he uploaded a video of McGregor in his pub with R&B singer October London.
McGregor shouted, ‘Number one in the charts, baby’ to the camera before singing with his new friend who is signed to Snoop’s Death Row Records and has found success with his new single ‘Back to Your Place’.

On Sunday, it looked like the former dual-weight UFC champion had missed his chance to meet Snoop as he was seen posing with one of McGregor’s titles and chatting to his mother, Margaret.
A day later, the 35-year-old shared a shirtless picture of him behind the wheel of one of his luxury cars with some type of cigarette in his mouth.
McGregor added the caption: “On the way to Snoop Dogg gonna take it handy.”
A little while later, he got to meet Snoop who inadvertently helped him during his rise to fame.
