Conor McGregor thanks The Rock and Katie Taylor in first tweets after his Boston heroics

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.

Thank you @TheRock!! You are the man!! — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) January 19, 2015
