Irish UFC Featherweight star, Conor McGregor may be in the rehab phase stemming from a knee injury he suffered last year in his second bout for the organization, but that doesn’t mean he’s just sitting on his hands. The 25 year old Dubliner recently filmed a talent search commercial for beer giant, Heineken that shows a softer, more artistic side of the outspoken fighter.

In the commercial, we see the ever stylish broadcaster, Jennifer McGuire doing amazing feats involving double jointed limbs, former Irish rugby hooker, Shane Byrne, playing the beat of a different drum, and Conor demonstrating his knack for origami. The commercial runs for a minute and a half or so, has a snappy background tune, and elicits a few laughs. Tell us what you think.
