CAGE fighter Conor McGregor dished out £11,000 in tips at a posh restaurant — after flouting the dress code by wearing a stain-covered tracksuit.

The former UFC champion, 36, and fiancée Dee Devlin, 37, were still welcomed into Novikov despite them turning up in matching sportswear.

Irishman McGregor paid the £580 bill by card at the eaterie in Mayfair, central London — then handed out wads of $100 notes to staff from a Louis Vuitton bag.

An onlooker said: “Novikov prohibits sportswear but they seemed quite happy to bend the rules.

"Conor gave away about £11,000.

“Every waiter in there that night was grappling to serve him.”
