This is the amazing moment UFC star Conor McGregor was filmed passing along the street in New York by a bemused Jacob Rees Mogg.

The hard-line Conservative MP did not appear to recognise McGregor who is known among UFC followers as 'The Notorious'.

The 30-year-old fighter from Dublin was in New York to face charges relating to a brawl in April.

The possible future Prime Minister did not recognise the world's most famous UFC fighter

It appears McGregor was completely oblivious to the identity of the Member of Parliament for North East Somerset, and occasional guest on shows such as Have I Got News For You

Last week, McGregor pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn criminal court to disorderly conduct, in a plea deal which saw him escape without serving any prison time.

Rees Mogg, wearing a suit, along with his son, who was also wearing a suit, walked past McGregor who was swigging from a bottle and being followed by members of his entourage.

It did not appear that McGregor recognised the leader of the European Research Group, while Rees Mogg does not seem to follow the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

McGregor is believed to have earned $100 million for his fight last August against former boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather.

Following his court appearance, McGregor said: 'I just want to say I'm thankful to the DA (district attorney) and the judge for allowing me to move forward.

'I want to say to my friends, my family, my fans - thank you for the support.'

McGregor faced seven years in prison if he was convicted on all counts. However, as part of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped all the felony counts.
