Conor McGregor competes in exhibition match and gives shout out to Justin Bieber.

For the past several weeks, Conor McGregor has been the topic of conversation in the MMA and entertainment world for all the wrong reasons. Accusations of criminality, Twitter beefs, and strong arm robbery charges top the list of Conor McGregor’s recent brushes with the law.

Despite all the controversy however, Conor McGregor appears to still be living life as usual.

Recently competing in a exhibition boxing match at his childhood boxing gym, The Crumlin Boxing Club, Conor McGregor is still showing a vested interest in the pugilistic arts. The match was a one-sided showcase for the former UFC champion.

The School of Excellence, Crumlin Boxing Club. The school of hard knocks to the uninitiated. But the school of excellence to those who have served their time here. True Irish, hard fighting men and women. This place has never, in its long and rich history, EVER churned out a soft fighter. Not one bottler came out of this club. Bottlers are drank here. Big proper 12 bottles yup ya. What a place ❤️

Also in recent news, Justin Bieber revealed that he was 60% Irish in a recent social media declaration and even gave Conor McGregor a shout out. Naturally, Conor McGregor responded back, giving praise to Justin Bieber and his family.

Justin is a top young man!
Training hard on the @McGregorFast program also.
Real excited to see the results and hear his latest music this summer.
Thank you @justinbieber and father @JeremyBieber!
The Irish runs deep with the Bieber’s.
Shoutout my young bro Johner Bieber also. https://t.co/bJJWDqWRPR
