Conor McGregor has surfaced in the town that gave us Paul Revere, Larry Bird and Samuel Adams beer

SportsJOE placed its finest reporting mind at a laptop, at 7am, and instructed him to keep an eye on Conor McGregor’s Twitter feed, following his comprehensive, round two TKO over Dennis Siver in Boston last night.

We were the look-out for another bombastic call-out to current UFC champion Jose Aldo, or ribbing promotion supremo Dana White for scheduling his title bout – confirmed for this May – in Las Vegas.

Instead, The Notorious’ first retweeted a message from The Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger. He followed that up by thanking Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Ireland’s Olympic boxing hero, Katie Taylor. Fair play. Worth the wait.
