It’s no secret that UFC featherweight champ Conor McGregor is a bit of a car fanatic. Over the course of his last few fights, the Irish star has assembled a pretty flashy collection of luxury vehicles.

Luckily, Rolls-Royce has hooked McGregor up with a customized Ghost model to assure he’s able to roll around New York City in the style to which he’s grown accustomed.
