McGregor – one of the biggest stars in world sport – became the first UFC fighter to hold belts at two different weights at the same time in 2016.
Now he is expected to jet into Merseyside for ‘The Grand National Afterparty’ evening at Mansion – with over 1,000 expected to be in attendance on the evening.

"His fame is enormous even outside of sports circles and I’ve never seen anything like his media impact.
"So obviously it’s a big coup for us to get him to Mansion.
"Since we broke the news on our social [media] accounts it’s gone mad, the response has been unbelievable."
Meanwhile, club promoter Michael Ellis said: “We’ve got a massive Irish following.

"So many people come to Mansion from Dublin it’s ridiculous, and so when we got in touch with his agents they’d heard of the club and they were really keen to come here.”
Last month, Mansion tweeted: "***ANNOUNCEMENT*** THE KING IS COMING... Saturday 8th April We Bring You @thenotoriusmma."
'Notorious' has 11million social media followers and is set to fly into Liverpool on his private jet on Friday.
