For a guy who makes millions to kick, punch and wrestle other people, Conor McGregor sure seems like a nice guy.

The Irish mixed martial arts fighter, who will fight in UFC's main event on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, met one of his biggest fans — an Irish NYPD officer — in New York City this week.

All of the feels ensued.

McGregor isn't this kind to everyone. UFC fined McGregor $150,000 last month after a heated argument with one of his opponents turned into a barrage of thrown water bottles and energy drink cans. Earlier this year, he called WWE wrestlers "messed up pussies."

Looks like he must have a soft spot for fans, particularly those who share his Irish heritage.
