Fans are buzzing over a recent photo of Conor McGregor with Adam Sandler.
The UFC icon and the beloved comedy actor crossed paths on Sunday.
McGregor, known as `Notorious`, shared a snapshot with Sandler, sending well wishes for the upcoming “Happy Gilmore 2” movie.
“Adam Sandler, a true creative force in the movie industry,” McGregor wrote on Instagram. “He revolutionized the game! An inspiration! Looking forward to `Happy Gilmore 2` coming to Netflix on July 25th! Rock On Adam San!”
Fans React to McGregor and Sandler`s Meeting
The unexpected pairing of these two famous figures from sports and entertainment has sparked a wave of reactions from fans.
McGregor`s post featuring Sandler quickly gained nearly 600,000 likes within half a day.
Many comments focused on the surprising sight of Sandler in a suit.
The 58-year-old comedian is famous for his casual style, making it noteworthy when McGregor captured him in formal wear. Fans humorously pointed this out in the comments.
One fan joked, “The only time you see Adam Sandler in a suit is with McGregor.” Another added, “Dude, you got him in a suit!”
Another commenter declared, “This is the rarest photo of Adam Sandler ever.”
“First time seeing Adam dressed up,” another surprised fan commented.
“Adam Sandler with The Notorious looking like John Wick. A rare sighting indeed,” added another Instagram user.
One skeptical fan playfully questioned, “Fake! Sandler doesn`t own suits.”
Conor McGregor`s Next Steps
McGregor has been out of the fighting scene since his leg injury during a match with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021.
After recovery, a comeback fight with Michael Chandler was planned. However, their UFC 303 bout in June was cancelled due to McGregor`s toe injury during training.
Recently, there has been less talk about McGregor`s UFC return. He has mentioned potentially moving to bare-knuckle boxing after becoming a co-owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
McGregor has also considered entering politics, leading Chandler to joke that McGregor might become president before they actually fight in the UFC.
The future is uncertain, and only time will reveal if McGregor will return to MMA fighting.
