As Ryan Smith flicked through social media on his phone this week, a notification that showed Conor McGregor sharing a photo of his artwork was not what he expected to see on his feed.
The 27-year-old, from Co Antrim, has spoken of his pride that a painting that he worked on, now resides in the UFC star's popular bar and restaurant in Dublin.
Ryan says he has always had a passion for art, but after some obstacles, he is now completely focused on pursuing his business, Reliq Designs.
