No matter how many people chase him down or stick a pen in his face, Conor McGregor always makes time. Even when he is stopped at a red light in a rented Rolls Royce.
On Sunday, after a busy weekend of sparring and media duties, Conor McGregor was looking for some time to himself.

The UFC lightweight champion has been getting to ride in some pristine Rolls Royce cars over the course of his promotional tour for Mayweather vs. McGregor and during his stay in Las Vegas.
McGregor got away from his training partners, coaches and minders for a jaunt around Vegas. Of course, being such a recognisable face in the City of Lights means the Dubliner is never far from an avid fan or a camera.
So it played out when David Robison, a massive fan of ‘The Notorious’, spotted his hero driving down Rainbow Boulevard in Las Vegas. Chancing his arm when McGregor was stopped at the lights, he hopped out for a quick selfie and got an autograph too.

The pictures and video shared by Robison show the generous, human side to McGregor that is often lost behind his bold proclamations and boasts of ruling both boxing and MMA ‘with an iron fist’.
Asked about his current focus on boxing, the UFC champ jokes that he’s going to ‘switch it up’ before making a bowing gesture and driving away.
Thank you so much ☘️👊🏼@TheNotoriousMMA @ConormcGregor5 pic.twitter.com/AiTJX3EnEA

It is encouraging to see the 29-year-old so relaxed and forthcoming less than two weeks out from an absolutely massive challenge against 49-0 boxing star Floyd Mayweather Jr.
We contacted Robison about the interaction, and he had nothing but good reports about McGregor.
“He was so nice to my family and I and had a good conversation with us. He also told us, ‘I’m going to fold Floyd Mayweather up.'” added Robinson.
