CONOR McGREGOR’S mother was greeted by legendary rapper Snoop Dogg as he paid a surprising visit to the Black Forge Inn.
McGregor took to Instagram to share photos of the interaction between the pair as Snoop enjoyed a meal at the pub.

McGregor captioned the post: “Snoop with my mom, happy as hell hahah.
“Welcome to @theblackforgeinn, Snoop! Good luck with the sold out show tomorrow night!”
Snoop is performing in Dublin tonight in front of a sell-out audience.
Meanwhile, McGregor has announced he will have a trilogy fight with Nate Diaz before he calls it a day.
The pair, 35 and 37 respectively, took part in two of the most memorable fights in recent UFC history in 2016, with Diaz taking home a shock second-round submission victory in their first meeting.
McGregor levelled their series with a majority decision victory in their rematch five months later, a result Diaz still fumes about to this day.
In response to his rival’s recent tweet about the scoring of their second fight, Diaz tweeted: “When I killed you off, I should’ve never gave you a rematch.
“I never get a rematch especially when I don’t really lose like in our 2nd fight or my last fight.
“I just let u p****y run off into [the] sunset like you won. Live with it ur both p*****.”
It didn’t take long for McGregor to get wind of his long-time rival’s response, which he placated by insisting they will have a trilogy bout.
He replied: “You’ll get your rematch, lad.”
Former two-division champion McGregor recently revealed a rubber match with Diaz is part of his three-fight plan, which is set to kick off with a showdown with Michael Chandler.
He told talkSPORT: “Chandler next. I have to fight him. Then it’s [Justin] Gaethje & then the Nate trilogy.”
McGregor’s showdown with Chandler – his rival coach on season 31 of the Ultimate Fighter – was announced back in February.
But the Crumlin native’s continued absence from the USADA testing pool – which he must be in for a minimum of six months before being eligible to compete – was seemingly to blame for the delay in announcing the official date.
The UFC brass could, however, have had their poster boy headline their final pay-per-view card of the year on December 16.
It was thought they would grant him an exemption to the six-month written notice rule in order for him to make an blockbuster end-of-year return.
But the Dubliner won’t be in action on the Sin City card, which UFC president Dana White announced will be headlined by Brit Leon Edwards’ welterweight title defence against Colby Covington.
