In turn, McGregor, who recently announced his retirement from MMA fighting, gave Bieber a shoutout on Twitter:
Justin is a top young man!

Training hard on the @McGregorFast program also.
Real excited to see the results and hear his latest music this summer.
Thank you @justinbieber and father @JeremyBieber!
The Irish runs deep with the Bieber’s.
Shoutout my young bro Johner Bieber also. https://t.co/bJJWDqWRPR
Turns out Bieber and McGregor aren’t exactly strangers - last year, after McGregor was infamously arrested for tossing a barricade into a bus at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Bieber said “I think Conor will be fine,” said Bieber, “we all make mistakes.”
