It’s all eyes on Las Vegas this weekend as Conor McGregor faces off against Khabib Nurmagomedov (no, YOU had to Google that spelling) as part of UFC 229.
As always, a strong Irish contingent has followed Conor to Sin City and by the looks of things they are certainly making themselves heard.
McGregor felt the love at yesterday’s press conference as fans broke into a few mandatory bars of Olé Olé Olé…

The GAA jerseys are out in full force around the Vegas casinos…
I will die for my love of a good GAA/Soccer Jersey in Las Vegas. Vegas is a mental place at the best of times, people from all around the world wearing normal clothes. Could be from anywhere. The Irish like to be easily identifiable incase shit goes down. pic.twitter.com/7OOlBFAb2v
