PICS: Justin Timberlake was hanging out with Conor McGregor at UFC 200

Carl Kinsella

It’s a long way from Timberlake you were reared, Conor.

Conor McGregor had the night off to watch many high-profile fights on the UFC’s megacard for UFC 200 last Saturday, which means he had time to rub shoulders with other members of high society.

One set of shoulders belonged to beloved pop-star Justin Timberlake, known the world for world bringing sexy back – a move for which we are all grateful.

But it was Timberlake, formerly of N*Sync, who seemed starstruck to meet The Notorious, posting a picture of the pair to his Instagram page and captioning it with an ironic “No big deal”.

Somebody also noticed that in the foreground of this incredible shot of McGregor intensely watching his old nemesis Jose Aldo beating Frankie Edgar, Timberlake is wearing much the same ominous expression.
