Conor McGregor invites Donald Trump to his Dublin pub for Ireland’s best ‘coke’ experience

Conor McGregor has found himself at the center of multiple controversies lately. From losing the Nikita Hand civil lawsuit appeal last week to having his private photos leaked on social media. The former UFC double champ is navigating a rough patch, all while eyeing a run for Ireland’s presidency in the upcoming November elections. But the Irishman is not slowing down and has made an unexpected move, extending a warm invitation to US President Donald Trump.Earlier this year, on St. Patrick’s Day, Conor McGregor and his family visited the Oval Office, where he praised Trump’s work ethic and even vowed to raise concerns about immigration in Ireland. McGregor also previously attended Trump’s inauguration, showing longstanding support for the former U.S. President.Now, in an Instagram post, McGregor invited Trump to his Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin, probably returning it as a favor for the White House visit. Alongside his social media post, McGregor shared an AI-generated image of himself and Donald Trump dressed as medieval knights, seated at a table filled with meat and potatoes. In the image, Trump is seen drinking a can of Coca-Cola.“See you in November Donald, at Ireland's greatest public house, the multi-time award-winning @blackforgeinn! We look very forward! Ireland’s friend @realDonaldTrump, we have the best Coke in all Ireland for you to try! Sparkly fizzy, and on the rocks. With Irish lemon and lime, also! For adding. ICE COLD!”He further added, “Our Coca Cola factory is just 5 minutes away on the long mile road, walking distance, from the black forge inn! GIVE THAT BOY A CAN OF COKE! You are going to LOVE IT! The unique, true, IRISH EXPERIENCE!'"Conor McGregor is officially back in the UFC’s drug testing pool, marking the first step toward a potential return to the Octagon, possibly at next year’s July 4th White House event. Earlier this week, the Irishman shared photos and videos suggesting he had submitted samples.While some fans were skeptical due to his past false starts, the UFC’s Anti-Doping Program has now confirmed that McGregor completed his first test of 2025. Last year, he underwent 11 tests in preparation for a canceled bout with Michael Chandler at UFC 303, which he withdrew from due to a broken pinky toe.Also read: Triple H breaks silence on Brock Lesnar’s stunning WWE return at SummerSlam 2025McGregor hasn’t fought since his loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
