McGregor is advertised to be in Cookstown this weekend at a night club.  I presume then he will be attending UFC Belfast and making his way to Cookstown after the event

I call bullshit on this one.

Even if he turns up at UFC Belfast, who in their right mind would leave the event just to turn up at a nite club in Cookstown, never mind a multi-million pound earning global superstar?

I bet it turns out to be that lad who does the McGregor impression.

maybe Calum Best wearing a McGregor wig?  :)

I was of the same opinion but I now actually think its genuine.  Obviously McGregor doesn't need the money and the appearance fee would be small fry.  But perhaps the owners of this night club have contacts close to McGregor and he is doing them a favour. 

If it turns out to be an impersonator it would backfire massively on the nightclub. 
Living the dream!!!

Up The Middle

What would McGregor get as an appearance fee, couldn't be any less than 25 grand id imagine.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

That's the only way I could see it happening, if he knows somebody there and as you say, he is doing a favour.

Ah well, fair dues if he shows up. 
Keep 'er lit

It's some look-a-like doing the rounds and milking the thing.

Surprised there's been no mention of this

They've made a complete balls of it. I'm more surprised there's no word from McGregor yet.
