Inside Dan Bilzerian's visit to Conor McGregor's Black Forge pub accompanied by models

This week saw well-known social media figure Dan Bilzerian drop by at The Black Forge Inn in quite some style.

And the pub's owner Conor McGregor made sure to publicise his famous patron's visit to the nth degree by sharing the below video which tracked their whole time in the Crumlin establishment.

The former two-weight UFC champion captioned it: "Ireland's greatest everything."

Like McGregor, Bilzerian is known for flaunting his expensive lifestyle on Instagram which has led to him developing a huge audience of followers.

In total, he has almost 33 million followers - 12 million less than McGregor.

After visiting the pub, the 41-year-old shared videos of himself partying with models as they downed shots in a swimming pool.

The poker player previously claimed he lost a mountain of cash, estimated to be $1million, on McGregor's 2020 fight with Donald Cerrone.

He backed his fellow American to beat the Notorious at UFC 246, but McGregor destroyed Cowboy in just 40 seconds at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

McGregor himself wasn't around Dublin to greet Bilzerian as he remains outside the country in sunnier climes based on his latest social media post where he worked out on a beach surrounded by fans.

He worked on some trademark left hooks with a trainer but the clip drew a mixed response from followers over whether or not it was impressive.

Some felt he looked closer to his vintage self as he bounced around on his feet rather than plodding forward in a strictly boxing-centric manner.

But plenty of others bemoaned how he continually just seems to work the same power shot rather than putting a few combinations together.

In addition, they also felt he looked pretty exhausted by the end of short video.

One person wrote: "Oh no he gassed after 11 shots!! Conor retire please I can't take another Conor L."

While someone else said: "Too stiff and too slow, the golden days are over."

And another sceptic added: "It seems like his punches got slower."
