Amidst the Saint Patrick’s Day revelries in Savannah, Georgia, the ‘Notorious’ Irish mixed martial artist, Conor McGregor, made an appearance in the city’s streets. McGregor, known for his fiery personality and impressive fighting skills, joined the festivities alongside his fiancée and family. As they walked the parade route, they turned heads with their impeccable fashion sense, complete with police escort and dashing three-piece suits.
Conor McGregor was seen in ‘The Hostess City of the South’ for one of the largest and most popular celebrations of the holiday in the United States.
Savannah’s celebration of the day is the biggest in the American southeast – with the average parade lasting almost four hours.
McGregor was seen walking with his fiancée Dee Devlin and their three children accompanied by police.
It’s the second parade to be held in Savannah since the COVID pandemic led to the cancellation of festivities in both 2020 and 2021.
