Conor McGregor has praised Irish singer Hozier after he joined Spotify's 'Billions Club' this week.
The Bray native's 2013 hit 'Take Me To Church' has now been streamed over a billion times on the popular music app, joining an elite list of artists to reach the milestone.
And as fans paid tribute to Hozier, McGregor took to social media to praise the 31-year-old.
He tweeted: "Incredible Irish Artist!".
Meanwhile, Nate Diaz's coach wants to see him face Conor McGregor for a third time.
The American returned to the octagon last weekend, losing to Leon Edwards at UFC 263. Diaz has been linked with fighting Demian Maia, but Cesar Gracie favours a third bout with McGregor.
Gracie told MMA Fighting : “I would think the trilogy versus [Conor] McGregor [is the best option for his next fight].
"I know that Nate wants tough fights. He is motivated by fighting the best guys.”
On Maia, he added: “I know there has been speculation on whether Nate will accept the fight with Demian Maia. Although I have not yet talked to Nate about his thoughts on this fight, I can tell you that I am completely against the idea.
"Demian has been a great representative of Brazilian jiu-jitsu on the mat and in MMA. He has accomplished much and we all respect him.
"He is still a dangerous opponent but I don’t feel Nate has anything to gain from this fight.
“If he were to lose, he would be losing to a 44-year-old that is on his way out of the sport and if he won it would be to a 44-year-old man that is leaving the sport. It is a no-win situation.”
