Conor McGregor's dad laughs like a Bond villain while filling up new €170k Porsche Panamera

A Tony McGregor Instagram post is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get.

In this case it's him laughing maniacally while showing off his new Porsche Panamera...with Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' blaring in the background.

The strange video begins with him showing followers the registration plate of his latest motor - which of course features 188 in a nod to son Conor's days on the dole before cracking it big in MMA.

It then pans to the petrol pump nearby as he roars with laughter whilst the guard goes past the €70 mark.

The 61-year-old acquired the new set of wheels from car salesman Alan Lewis who is known for supplying the more affluent residents in and around the capital with top of the line vehicles.

Funnily enough though, while Tony continues to flash the cash, eagle-eyed fans of his son spotted Conor brandishing a €3 mug from Dunnes Stores in an Instagram post yesterday.

It's not the first time the UFC icon has been seen with some budget gear from the Irish retail giants either as only last month he was seen wearing some of their pyjamas.

The Notorious was in good form as he joked 'The baddest man alive in @dunnesstores jammies'.

But sister Erin was less than impressed with the fit as she commented: "@thenotoriousmma give over I'll have a man’s set designed in on time."

Usually, you only see the mega-rich megastar in the most expensive branded clothing so this recent trend has been a bit of an eye-catching one.

The 34-year-old certainly doesn't need to fight again for financial reasons but has maintained that he will overcome his leg break and return to his former glory in the octagon once more.

Having still not taken part in full MMA sparring after a setback in his rehab, all timelines project we won't see him fight until some time in 2023 with welterweight looking like his most likely weight class since he's noticeably bulked up over the past 12 months or so.
