McGregor with Wayne Rooney

It's not every day that you get to see two icons of different sports in the same picture and even rarer when they bump into each other. But that's exactly what happened here with McGregor and Wayne Rooney.

And what's even more significant is that this picture was taken in March 2017 - a time when rumors swirled that Rooney was planning a return to Everton and McGregor was in talks over the Mayweather fight. Interestingly, Rooney was eligible to play for Ireland because his grandmother is Irish but turned it down.
