Conor McGregor has revealed that he watched the World Cup final at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, as a guest of Vladimir Putin. McGregor has been enjoying his 30th birthday celebrations this weekend – the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion visited Longitude and commissioned a gigantic statue of himself to be built – but his next stop after Marlay Park was Russia.
Conor McGregor describes Putin as “one of the greatest leaders of our time”, in an Instagram post on Sunday:
“Today I was invited to the World Cup final as a guest of Russian President Vladimir Putin,” wrote McGregor, who celebrated his 30th birthday on Saturday. “This man is one of the greatest leaders of our time and I was honored to attend such a landmark event alongside him.
“Today was an honor for me Mr. Putin. Thank you and congratulations on an amazing World Cup.”
