Justin Timberlake‘s got a UFC superstar ready to fight for his freedom … with Conor McGregor throwing his support behind the singer following his DWI arrest.
Notorious reacted to the “Selfish” crooner’s legal troubles roughly 24 hours after the news broke on Tuesday … and he’s certainly not turning his back on Timberlake over the matter.
“Free JT,” McGregor said on Wednesday … sharing a pic of the musician’s mug shot for good measure.
Of course, there is a bit of irony in McGregor showing love for someone who just got out the slammer … as his fans have had to do the same for him after his own run-ins with the law in the past.
McGregor isn’t alone in backing JT — the *NSYNC leader’s attorney, Edward Burke Jr., told TMZ he is ready to “vigorously” defend his client against the allegations.
It’s unclear how tight McGregor and Timberlake are … but the former referred to the guy as his “brother” when they posed together at UFC 200 back in 2016.

Timberlake also proved he’s quite the McGregor fan himself … channeling the fighter’s most famous quote in the middle of his concert earlier this year.
Timberlake has yet to personally comment on the arrest.
