The Irish takeover needs to happen abroad

All, MMA

When the UFC came to Ireland for the second time, it was a clean sweep for Irish based fighters. After a night of wins the country’s shining light, Conor McGregor, proclaimed that the Irish intended to take over. The performances of the Irish fighters that night, combined with a fervent atmosphere, made the world stand up and take notice. It was a perfect night for McGregor, Paddy Hoolihan, Neil Seery and Cathal Pendred. The Irish revolution however had only begun. Many more battles lay ahead and, unfortunately, nearly all of these would take place on foreign soil.
