You couldn't have come up with a better scene to represent the 'Fighting Irish' than everything about that walkout! To have Sinead singing that song, from an elevated column, as if looking down from heavens at our Irish Gladiator, himself draped by the Tricolour, gave me goosebumps that took a week to subside. RIP Sinead, you're up there for real now. Erin go Bragh.
Even back then Connor had star power man, not the best fighter ever but undoubtedly the biggest draw in UFC history an unmatched legacy. The OG Champ Champ
Fuck, I regularly come back to this. When the camera zooms to his eyes he just oozes confidence. Simply unstoppable. Genuinely thankful he brought UFC to new levels
If his fight against chandler is the last one, man. I hope I cherish the build up, fight week, and hearing this when he walks out. Nothing like a mcgregor fight
Something that's incredible to me is my father who passed away in 2016 saw the crisp boxing of Conor in UFC and became a fan. He knew that Conor was special.
Can't stand Connor, but this is a chilling, moving, emotional walkout, especially if you know the meaning of the song! She really did this song justice and made the people of Ireland proud. I'm Hispanic, closest thing we have is el mariachi loco!
Love that Joe caught himself and decided to stop talking. He knew. This era of McGregor was unreal. If you lived in Ireland you know what I mean but he literally had the whole country behind every punch he threw.
Joe Rogan is such a dickhead, He talked nothing but shit about Belfast when he visited but then praised Dublin for exactly the same things. Genuinely hate that little cunt.
If you dont know the history if this song go Google it - The foggy dew . Then return snd listen to this video. If you wte irish youll get the goosebumps right away. If you are not irish youll still feel it deep within your human soul 🍀🫡. Rip Sinead O'Connor
I was at fight. Been to boston and travelled from ny. Met people who traveled from ireland and as far as Australia. Never experienced when he won the roof felt like it was going to lift from the MGM and Sinnead was beautiful to see
GSP at UFC 83 kills this intro. GSP was the man who built this company, not Conor. Georges was filling stadiums before social media came along and helped loud mouths like Conor to become a thing. GSP kicked everyone's ass in the cage while Conor did his fighting at press conferences.
