Conor McGregor posted a couple of stories on his Instagram feed a couple of hours back. The 31-year-old was driving a Bentley and he filmed himself via cell phone while doing so. Although it is illegal in Ireland to use a cell phone while driving, Conor McGregor apparently did it and did not hesitate to post those videos on his official social media handle.

In the videos, Conor McGregor can be spotted smiling and flaunting 'the' McGregor watch. 'The Notorious' was also donning a black hoodie and a cap. In the whole process, Conor McGregor pans his camera to flaunt the McGregor watch, which is a gold Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980 1AR 001 watch, which is estimated to be of worth Â£75,000. The UFC star was also seen lifting up his phone to show the traffic and busy roads of Ireland while driving, which many believe is legally inappropriate to do in Ireland.
