Video: Conor McGregor drops in on LA superfan’s apartment and it’s just fantastic

Conor McGregor is the one who knocks.

The Notorious is in Los Angeles preparing for his UFC 196 welterweight fight against Nate Diaz but despite a busy schedule when he drove past one particular apartment in the city he just had to make an extra stop.

McGregor was driving when he spotted a balcony adorned with Irish flags and a cardboard cutout of himself and he made good on a promise to drop by and meet the owner.

In a video posted by TMZ Sports, The Dubliner dropped in on a local who seemed like a genuine superfan that was blown away to meet the featherweight champ, showing off a whole pile of McGregor gear which the excited fighter was only too happy to sign in between posing for pictures.

The fan said: “That feeling Conor had when he knocked out Jose Aldo to become the champ, that’s what I felt like tonight.”
