The UFC star is getting a very big present on his big day!

An artist has created a life-sized sculpture of Conor McGregor.

The Dublnier turns 30 on Saturday, July 14th, and a man named Edgar Askelovic has spent the past 5 months handcrafting a statue for him.

The Lithuanian artist, also known as Aspencrow, created the 100kg sculpture using platinum silicone and marble powder.

It shows McGregor bursting out of a block of marble and is worth over €50,000.

It will be gifted to the dad-of-one on his birthday and is just one of three variations of the piece.

The two other sculptures will be sold by JD Malat Gallery in London, where they'll go on display from July 14th until September 30th.

Speaking to The Sun, Aspencrow said he's a fan of the fighter:

"It is an honour that Conor has accepted this as a gift from me. He is a phenomenon of our time – not just a smart athlete, but also a visionary.

I share his belief: 'Talent does not exist. This is hard work and obsession'."
