It's a hard life being a world-famous, multimillionaire, championship-winning UFC fighter.
Irish MMA star Conor McGregor has been gifted a "hyper-realistic" sculpture valued at £50,000 as a present for his 30th birthday.
Lithuanian artist Edgar Askelovic spent five months creating the statue of the Crumlin native, which can be seen (on the left, duh) below:

Askelovic - better known as 'Aspencrow' - handcrafted the 100kg sculpture using high quality photographs of McGregor as reference.
"It is an honour Conor has accepted this as a gift from me," said the Vilnius-born, Birmingham-based sculptor.
"He is a phenomenon of our time - not just a smart athlete, but also a visionary."
Entitled 'Atlas', the piece will be unveiled at McGregor's 30th birthday bash at London’s JD Malat Gallery on Saturday.
