JAKARTA - UFC fighter Conor McGregor received a surprise gift after his long visit to the Dominican Republic. No kidding, the gift came from the president.

The Notorious spent time in the tropics to undergo filming. He co-starred with Jake Gyllenhaal in the film.

During filming, McGregor took his fiancé, Dee Devlin, and three children with him. They all enjoy family vacations.

His presence was known to the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader Corona.

This was revealed in a post by the fighter on Instagram.

In a post, McGregor showed off a gift of a set of Fuente Fuente OpusX cigars from the president. A box containing 20 cigars is reportedly worth up to 1,100 euros (approximately IDR 16.8 million).

"Thank you President" next to the Dominican Republic flag and a shamrock.

McGregor and his family's visit to the country had to be extended. This is due to Hurricane Fiona which hit the country.

The man from Crumlin was stranded on a Caribbean island because a storm had canceled his flight. He was supposed to return to the Emerald Isle to visit Bellator 285 in Dublin.

The Notorius' return to the UFC is expected in early 2023. He hasn't dropped back into the octagon since his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier last summer.
