THE IRISH HAVE descended on Las Vegas ahead of tonight’s fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
As always, they’re making their presence felt, donning tricolours, singing Fields of Athenry at last night’s weigh-in and the like.
International media has even been reporting on their antics.
BBC interviewed a fan who quit his job to attend the fight. (Imagine how stressed out his poor mother is right about now.)
Meanwhile Fox interviewed a bartender from Co. Mayo who declared that Las Vegas would be “the 33rd county for the weekend”.
A few weeks ago, Kildare teacher Mick Konstantin went viral when he uploaded his ukelele ode to Conor McGregor. The video quickly garnered millions of views on Facebook and caught the attention of The Notorious himself.
Now he’s in Las Vegas and yesterday he led a massive singalong of There’s Only One Conor McGregor with Irish fans.
It was quite the sight. (Obviously it was followed by chants of Olé, olé, olé…)
The Irish have taken over Vegas! 🇮🇪

The video was shared by UFC Europe and has been shared thousands of times with the caption, “The Irish have taken over Vegas!”
Sure, would you expect anything less from them?
