Conor McGregor put in serious work to meet this person

We never even knew they were friends...

This friendship has us SEETHING with jealousy.

Conor McGregor seems like one sound man.

He’s hard-working, determined, loyal, not afraid to support the other sporting heroes of his country and enjoys a beer or two like most of usHe’s one cool dude.

When he’s not training vigorously for his UFC fights, he can be seen out and about in Dublin or spending time with his girlfriend Dee Devlin.

You’d think all his fame and fortune would leave the celebrities of the world in awe but it’s refreshing to know even if you’re Conor McGregor you have to wait your turn to meet stars.

Most of us who are relatively aware of the events that happen in Dublin will know that our favourite pop star Rihanna was playing in the Aviva stadium last night.

Barbados’ most famous export even started crying on stage  after an emotional rendition of Love The Way You Lie which just makes us love her impossibly more.

One person who was there to console the teary-eyed star was none other than our very own Conor McGregor.

The UFC fighter uploaded a snap to Instagram of the proud moment he met the Work singer.

The Dublin man captioned it “An honour to see the pound for pound number 1 female in the game perform tonight!! This woman ain’t playin!!”

What a pairing.

If there’s one person to make mincemeat of Conor McGregor, we wouldn’t put it past the legendary Rihanna.
