Snoop Dogg Links Up With Conor McGregor Prior to Ireland Show, Poses With UFC Belt
Snoop Dogg recently made a memorable stop in Ireland, where he had the opportunity to meet UFC superstar Conor McGregor and visit the fighter’s pub.
On Sunday (September 24), the iconic Long Beach rapper paid a visit to the Black Forge Inn in Dublin, where he not only connected with McGregor but also spent time with the fighter’s mother. During his visit, Snoop interacted with fans, enjoyed a meal, and even posed with McGregor’s championship belt.
Conor McGregor, 35, took to social media to share the exciting encounter, captioning a series of photos, “Snoop with my mom, happy as hell. Welcome to @theblackforgeinn, Snoop! Good luck with the sold-out show tomorrow night!”

Snoop Dogg, known for his passion for both music and sports, has established himself as a beloved figure in the world of entertainment. His connection with McGregor further solidifies his status as a cultural icon.
However, it’s worth noting that Snoop Dogg recently found himself unintentionally embroiled in a geopolitical issue. In early September, the West Coast rap legend announced his plans to perform in Armenia later that month. Unfortunately, he inadvertently referenced the Republic of Artsakh alongside Armenia, which stirred controversy.
Artsakh is a breakaway state located on the border of Eastern Europe and West Asia. Its territory is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, a nation that has been engaged in a longstanding dispute with Armenia over control of the region.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the late 1980s resulted in tens of thousands of casualties and numerous refugees. Despite a ceasefire in 1994, clashes between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces resumed in late 2020. Blockades have been implemented in recent months, restricting travel and supplies to Artsakh.
Snoop Dogg’s visit to Ireland served as a positive and memorable experience, uniting him with MMA legend Conor McGregor while offering fans an exciting preview of his upcoming sold-out show.
