Conor McGregor is once again the subject of trolling from fans, following the Irishman's latest appearance in a Forged Irish Stout ad.

Fans of the Irishman will have seen McGregor regularly feature Forged's products across his social media, with both the stout and the Black Forge Inn having turned into a major financial success for the MMA star.

Recently, the Forged Irish Stout Instagram account debuted a new ad, which featured Conor McGregor in one of their warehouses. 'The Notorious' looks happy and impressed throughout before he then takes control of a forklift and begins moving pallets which are holding thousands of the Forged Irish Stout cans.

Conor McGregor reacts to the tragic passing of Irish singer Sinead O'Connor

Conor McGregor has expressed his heartbreak after learning of the news that legendary Irish singer Sinead O'Connor had passed away at the age of 56.

'The Notorious' and the UFC are forever tied to O'Connor as she performed an iconic rendition of 'The Foggy Dew' live when McGregor made his walk to the octagon against Chad Mendes at UFC 189.

The UFC star later took to Twitter to pay homage to O'Connor where he stated he had "lost a friend." He wrote:

"The world has lost an artist with the voice of an Angle. Ireland has lost an iconic voice and one of our absolute finest, bug a long shot. And I have lost a friend. Seand's music will live on forever and continue to inspire! Rest In Peace, Sinead you are home with your son I am sure."
