MMA fighter Conor McGregor received a marble statue as a gift to the 30th anniversary. There is a sculpture of 50 thousand pounds sterling (about 66 thousand dollars).

As reported by Mirror, the statue weighs over 100 kilograms. She will be exhibited in the London gallery JD Malat on the birthday of the athlete (July 14) and will stay there until September 30.

"It's a great honor for me that Conor accepted this gift from me.

In order to create a statue, I turned to ancient Greece, when the athletes were, like the gods, immortalized in marble, "commented the author of the monument, the Lithuanian sculptor Edgar Askelovich.

In January 2018, McGregor lost the title of champion of UFC. The last fight he spent in November 2016, beating a technical knockout in the second round of the American Eddie Alvarez.

August 26, 2017 McGregor debuted in boxing, losing to Floyd Mayweather.

It is expected that the next fight by the rules of mixed martial arts Conor will hold in October 2018 against the Russian soldier Habib Nurmagomedov.
