Lucky ducks.
Once more the Irish invasion is under way as thousands of Irish fans start making their way to Las Vegas for UFC 196.
For fight fans there is only one place to be this Saturday night as Conor McGregor takes on Nate Diaz at the MGM Grand at welterweight.
Lightweight champions Rafael dos Anjos witdrawing last week due to injury does not seem to have dampened spirits or reduced anticipation for Dubliner’s eighth UFC outing.
The build-up has been fast and furious, with McGregor and Diaz trading insults and accusations ahead of their welterweight bout, with over 300,000 people watching their pre-fight press conference last week.
We’re getting sightings of fight fans heading out from Dublin airport for another Irish takeover of Las Vegas.
Ah sure fuck it!Thanks #SINNightclub & #WhiskeyFair
