IRELAND GOT ITS first UFC champion overnight as Conor McGregor defeated Chad Mendes to win the interim UFC featherweight title in Las Vegas.
To hear what the new champ had to say in the post-event press conference, skip to 48:38 in the video belowโฆ
Chad Mendes is a class act. I was delighted to see the crowd give him the respect he deserves at the end of the fight. Congrats to McGregor
Chad is a Iraq war veteran. He had his arms amputated at the elbow after being injured in a Shia militia ambush
You knob jockey .
MENDES TOOK A DIVEโฆ
Thomas,
If you actually think that, then you havenโt got a clue.
Jack are you on crack?
Yes James, I like to have the crack too, how are you? I live in Dublin but am half Thai \English
Jack โ youโre also a certified trollyhole.
lold
I have noticed jack you have posted on many articles. I have formed an opinion, ass comes to my mind.
Burns you perv!
Dana White is a bit of a bellend.
Very successful, rich and intelligent bellend!!
A bellend worth 300 million.
I like him.
Heโs passionate. I like it
Mendes was class in his interview
the fight was like Mikey the pikey in snatch. opponent beats him up a bit and then bang one punch,lights out
It was similar in more ways than one.
Ken Early sounded like he had been enjoying the Vegas lifestyle there at the end
product placement at its finest
Ya, when Dan kept twisting that can of monster to show the label, thought that was pretty funny
He is an entertainer and a damn good fighter.
He ainโt comfortable been brought to the ground, thatโs for sure. I thought it was curtains for him at one stage, did anyone else think he struggled for abit
Wait,McGregor was fighting last night?Ye should have publicised it more,lads!
It just all adds to the story. Fell sorry for Mendes bit delighted McGregor won.
The unification fight will be something to behold.
Ken Earlyโs MMA knowledge is very poor. Not sure how he got that gig. He should stick to writing about Liverpool and GAA.
Fighters union.
Maybe a outsiders view can be good. He was very good the other day discussing Connorโs attitude towards a players union.
victorious and nortorious.A true legend from start to finish.youโll never beat the irish.and now off to coll my โฌ15oo winnings
too late to jump on the bandwagon? is it
Gutted.
I kept being distracted by the large watch that he was wearing,
I woke the house up this morning at 5am shouting at the TV a great night of UFC, Conor proved himself to be a true champ. Wonder will there be flags flyers at the airport and Enda there to greet him? I very much doubt it.
some terrible begruddgers on this site.well heres to yous.lm 1500e richer than l was yesterday because l.bet on our champ.and as the saying goes were not here to take part were here to take over oh yea baby
2nd the youโve mentioned that you bellend. Not sure why youโre bothering to brag, everyone know people who bet that much will end up losing it cause theyโre addicts.
l doubt that lm a gambler lm just lucky
Sovanyone who doesnโt like McGregor is a begrudger? Youโre a clown. Also, you need to go back to school and investigate the proper use of a full stop. Hereโs a clue, they dont go mid sentence.
People who donโt care but still go to the articles to comment negatively are definitely begrudgers
Ole ole ole ole let the haters hate lmao Conor going to kill Aldo lol
Canโt wait for the Aldo fight. Put an end to all this nonsense. Any idea when thatโs on?
Be the same out comeโฆ Mc Gregor is a far superior fighter to Mendes who perhaps should have beaten Aldo last time out. Mc Gregor is an Irish world champion that deserves our support, heโs done exactly what he said he wouldโฆ
Heโs still a tw@t though. Steve Collins was the same. Couldnโt care less if he was Irish or Japanese.
How long until heโs British.
Paul, was that you that asked McGregor a question at the post fight interview? (The only Irish accent I heard from the crowd.)
Iโm on about the question at the 45th minute. (I lost reception at the hour mark.)
A hero!!
