Conor McGregor caught up with pal Chris Brown in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland this week on the final leg of the singer’s world tour.
The 34-year-old UFC fighter described the evening as a “real crazy night” and shared snaps of them sharing shots after stepping into the ring for a friendly match.
Conor and Chris, 33, who are performing in town this weekend, are said to be good friends and met through their mutual interest in martial arts.
They appeared in high spirits as they beamed for the camera while Conor donned a tight white jumper and jeans.
He completed the look with a huge gold watch and slipped on colorful sneakers.

Meanwhile, Chris opted for a black combo, which he paired with a matching baseball cap and silver jewelry.
He captioned the snaps: “Me and the homie @chrisbrownofficial #propermadnight #welcometoireland”
They were joined by other buddies and Connor stripped off his shirt for the drinking session, showing off his incredible collection of tattoos.
He also flashed his soaring knuckles for the camera, having previously shared snaps of himself sweating in the ring, writing: “Mad Angel Irish Fighting”.
It comes after Conor Liam Neeson responded on Twitter after the Irish actor branded him a “little leprechaun”.
He spoke out after the Hollywood star, 70, said he was ‘[giving] Ireland a bad name” – although the two never met.
The MMA champion, who is known to enjoy a social media slinging match, took to the streets on Friday night in his response to the Taken star.
Conor kept his caption short and didn’t tag or address Liam in his reply.

He simply wrote, “Irish pride – always.” along with an Irish flag emoji.
A follower commented on this post: “We [are] proud of you !’
Although many of his fans have shown support, several have made it clear that they are collaborating with the Hollywood actor.
Some even went so far as to assist him in a fictional brawl with the fighter despite his lack of training.
One tweet read: “Liam is the man.”

Another wrote: “Very much here for Liam dragging along ‘little leprechaun’ Connor McGregor (also my money’s on Liam in a fight).”
Others just decided to stoke the fire and posted gifs of Liam under the post.
Liam launched into the bizarre tirade aimed at Conor while offering his thoughts on UFC fights earlier this week.
When asked by Men’s Health for his thoughts on the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Liam replied, “I can’t stand UFC. It’s like a bar fight to me. I know practitioners say, “No, you are wrong – the months of training we do…”

“Why don’t you just grab a beer bottle and hit the other guy on the head? This is the next level of the UFC. I hate it.’
Calling Conor directly, he continued: “That little leprechaun Conor McGregor gives Ireland a bad name. I know he’s fit and I admire him for that. But I can’t take it.’
Liam has consistently got himself into trouble in interviews.
The Schindler’s List star was branded a “racist” after a 2019 interview in which he revealed he had been roaming the streets with a cosh for a week to murder a black man 40 years ago when he learned that a loved one had allegedly been raped while abroad.

Speaking to the Independent to promote his new film Cold Pursuit, the actor described how he walked the streets looking for a “black b*****d” to kill in a misguided attempt at revenge .
Following a global backlash, Liam appeared on Good Morning America in February to insist he was not racist and revealed he had sought help from a Catholic priest after the incident.
He later released a public apology, saying: “The comments I have made in no way reflect my true feelings or myself, they were hurtful and divisive. I sincerely apologize.’
