Conor McGregor is on his way home to Ireland.

The Notorious is likely to arrive back in the country tomorrow, just over a week after he defeated Jose Aldo for the UFC Featherweight Championship at UFC 194 in Las Vegas.

McGregor already has a number of famous fans, from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and even Donald Trump approved of his victory over Aldo.

The first and possibly last time the potential future President of the Free World has approved of economic migrants finding gainful employment in the United States.

The Dubliner can now add U2 guitarist The Edge to his list of celebrity well-wishers. The pair posed for a picture before departing for Dublin.
