The only Irish man to beat Conor McGregor wears a Conor McGregor t-shirt to training

A silent tribute of sorts from Joe Duffy.

It's been an emotional rollercoaster for MMA fans, these past three days. Conor McGregor retired, Conor McGregor un-retired and then we had to dig into his fascinating statement. Whatever you think of him or the news stories that are rehashed about him, his 600-word comment about his stance was intriguing. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/723166962885529600 Yes, McGregor continues to divide camps in the UFC, in the fighting fan world, on the rest of the planet too. So Joe Duffy's unspoken comment on the matter raised a few eyebrows. After a training session with Tom Breese, the Irish lightweight posed with a t-shirt of Conor McGregor. No explanation, just presented it in all its glory. Duffy was the last person to beat the Notorious in professional MMA before Nate Diaz but he still buys his memorabilia apparently. News that McGregor was to be pulled from the UFC 200 card was also seized by Duffy who was straight on the ball retweeting suggestions that he should fill the void in Vegas. No bother to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkjwIZhT5hg
