Mark Nye, 34, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply Class A drugs. He told officers his name was “Conor” and was also found to be holding business cards with “McGregor Enterprise” written on them.

There is no denying the fact that he has an uncanny resemblance to Conor McGregor. The man seems like a business entrepreneur who finally got caught. It takes some serious balls to tell police officers that your name is “Conor.” You have to believe he thought that might be his get out of jail for free card. I wonder how many of his “customers” really thought that he was McGregor let alone had any resemblance to the MMA fighter.
