Footage emerged on Twitter of McGregor dancing to Minogue’s new comeback hit Padam Padam.

But it is not the first time the pair have hung out.

McGregor and his fiancee Dee Devlin last year posed for a picture with Minogue at a Cannes after party.

And while it was the UFC legend who asked for the picture, Minogue later told Seth Myers: “Given a minute, I might have asked.”

The Aussie “just bumped into” McGregor after a screening of the Baz Luhrmann movie Elvis.

She revealed her three UFC-mad nephews — aged 11, 13 and 16 — were ecstatic to discover she had met the Irish superstar.

McGregor’s day out at the Monaco Grand Prix had some fans fearing for his proposed return fight after he was filmed showing off some dodgy dancing.

In April the UFC announced McGregor would face Michael Chandler in his comeback bout after the two coached on The Ultimate Fighter.

But the reality series — where contenders live, train and fight together for a UFC contract — has already been filmed and the first episode is set to air this week.

Still no date, venue or weight has been confirmed for McGregor’s fight with Chandler, raising concerns.

But UFC president Dana White appeared to suggest the fight is still on as he talked up the blockbuster bout.

White told TheMacLife: “When you take Conor’s lay-off, his injury that he recovered from, trying to get back on top.

“And Chandler and how tough and durable he is and how the guy never quits and just keeps coming.

“Both guys have the ability to knock people out with one punch, the wrestling factor, the this, the that.

“All those questions are what makes this fight so fun.”
