Okay maybe those lucky charms weren't needed. Everyone catch McGregor vs Brandao?
Turned out to be a rock concert in the making. Media traveled to Ireland, too, because it wasn’t to be missed. The people of the Republic of Ireland turned out and created pandemonium in McGregor’s work place, total reverberation, reaching UFC-tested decibel levels of 111. Those are rock concert levels. Even White himself was talking about his dear old grammy, who stemmed from the green center of Cork, before the fight.
Conor McGregor is one of those guys that comes along in the fight game whose phenomenon you can’t easily define. Who knows how long it’ll last, or if he’ll do as well in Las Vegas, or if he’ll become a pay-per-view draw.
He's yet to test himself against a top 10 UFC vet.
