An Irish Conor McGregor fan serenaded Holly Holm and completely mortified her

Irish lads. They’re a romantic bunch.

THE IRISH HAVE well and truly descended on Las Vegas ahead of Conor McGregor’s bout against Jose Aldo tonight.

Yesterday, a few of them stopped in at a Q&A with Holly Holm, the fighter who knocked out Ronda Rousey last month.

One Irish fan took the opportunity to serenade Holm with a rendition of Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, complete with the DUH-DUH DUH-DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH bit.

Look at her. She’s mortified. In her eyes is a silent cry for help.

    Why is it people with strong political attachments are allowed to be part of the count? What’s the criteria for selection?

    What do you mean part of the count? The counting is done by public servants as far as I know. Each candidate is allowed a certain number of observers, which is only right, but they observe the counting, they don’t do it.
