Conor McGregor dropping $27,000 in Dolce & Gabana and waiting around the corner in a coffee shop while they loaded up the bags.
It's not a bad way for an interview to begin.
'The Notorious' is
the cover star of GQ magazine's Spring edition and his feature interview covers a myriad of topids - the Kardashians, protests against US President Donald Trump and the mooted boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Reporter Scott Cohen spent a day in Los Angeles with McGregor, late last year, and found him to be in loquacious form... even when he was threatening to throw him from a speeding car onto the motorway.
One of the most interesting aspects of the 3,000-word piece is McGregor's response to being asked about being called, and treated like, a celebrity. He remarked:
"People think I'm a celebrity. I'm not a celebrity. I break people's faces for money and bounce."
For a man that is often accused of having a gigantic ego, it is a remarkably grounded and humble response.
McGregor also speaks about how hosts of young men in Ireland are now dressing up, and getting groomed, to be like him.
"They all want to be me a little. That's a Drake line. All them boys want to be me a little. And it's true as fuck."
Asked how he feels about that, McGregor replies that he doesn't blame them.
"If I wasn't me," he says, "I'd want to be me, too."
