Nothing but the best is good enough for Conor McGregor’s friends.
The former dual-weight UFC champion paid for his teammate, Kiefer Crosbie, to travel first-class from Ireland to Australia ahead of the biggest fight of his career.

Crosbie will make his short-notice Octagon debut against welterweight fighter Kevin Jousset on the undercard of UFC 293 in Sydney on Saturday night.
During his trip down under, the man who recently outdid Floyd Mayweather by dropping former Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers in the boxing ring paid homage to McGregor.
“Tell the UFC to put the kettle on we’re on route,” Crosbie wrote alongside pictures of him and two of his teammates enjoying their first-class plane seats.
“Big thanks to my brother Conor McGregor for making sure me and the boys are well looked after and traveling in comfort & style over to Australia! A top man indeed.”

Not only did McGregor come good with Crosbie's flight, he also provided him with some tips ahead of his scrap against Jousset this weekend.
“He knows me 12 years,” Crosbie told Mirror Fighting.
“I'm training with him a long time and he's seen everything I've been through in my career, he's been there since I had my first amateur fight in SBG.
“Before I even went over, actually, he had looked my opponent up and looked at all of his fights. Broke them down in details that you couldn't pay for, and we have the same mindset.

"I have a great eye for fighting as well and a great fight IQ. The two of us were literally on the same path and like, 'That's the shot, this is what you do'.
“We just had great conversations about it and I'm very grateful to have the greatest of all time invested in my career, I'm unbelievably grateful for that."
The 33-year-old is hoping to make it four wins on the bounce after knocking out MMA journeyman Brian Lo-A-Njoe and former UFC welterweight Alex Oliveira before trying his luck in boxing.
Only time will tell if the game plan he formulated with McGregor pays dividends.
