Conor McGregor has welcomed Joe Biden to Ireland after the US President landed in Belfast last night.
Biden will speak at Belfast before visiting Dublin, Louth and Mayo as part of his trip to Ireland and he was welcomed by none other than UFC star McGregor.
The Dubliner took to social media on Tuesday night and sent a welcome message to President Biden.
He said: "Enjoy the homeland, @POTUS! #Welcome."
The US President was greeted by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after Air Force One landed at RAF Aldergrove on Tuesday night.
The two leaders met briefly before the president drove away in an armoured car amid a light scattering of snow.
The US president will carry out several other engagements across the week to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
After he leaves Belfast on Wednesday, Mr Biden will cross the border to attend engagements in Co Louth.
The president has traced his ancestral roots to the area and he will tour Carlingford Castle in the county before spending the night in Dublin.
He is then expected to visit Irish President Michael D Higgins on Thursday.
The White House said Mr Biden will take part in a tree-planting ceremony and ringing of the Peace Bell at the president’s official residence, Aras an Uachtarain.
Following that ceremony, he will meet again with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, whom Mr Biden recently hosted for St Patrick’s Day.
Mr Biden will address the Irish parliament and attend a banquet dinner at Dublin Castle on Thursday evening.
The president’s trip will conclude with a visit to Co Mayo, where he has also connected with distant cousins, on Friday.
He will tour the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Knock and visit the North Mayo Heritage and Genealogical Centre’s family history research unit.
He will then make a public speech at St Muredach’s Cathedral in Ballina.
