Video: Conor McGregor parodied in ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit featuring John Cena

Despite a lengthy paternity leave that will keep him away from public life well into 2017, Conor McGregor’s name made headlines this morning after ‘Saturday Night Live’ parodied the Irishman in their latest episode.

Titled “Where’d Your Money Go,” the bizarre skit featured SNL host and WWE star John Cena as New England Patriots’ Rob Gronkowski. It also had Kenan Thompson as NBA legend Charles Barkley and Alex Moffat as McGregor.

Moffat, clad in what appeared to be a mink coat similar to the one worn by McGregor at the UFC 205 pre-fight press conference, played up the Irishman’s antics and threw in various quips when questioned about his recent purchase of a $350,000 Rolls Royce.
