VIDEO: New full-Irish promo for UFC Dublin will make you want to go to war

When one of us goes to war...

Ah bejaysus, a begorrah, the UFC sure know how to ham up the whole Irishness malarkey.

Anyone who was watching UFC 192 in the wee hours of Sunday morning may have noticed the new promo for UFC Dublin aired during the coverage.

It opens with a Conor McGregor quote over an uilleann pipe melody before the senses get assaulted with tri-colour flags and somewhat patronising comments from Goldberg and Rogan on the notorious Irish pride. Sure, aren’t we all a great bunch of lads, really?

Joking aside, seeing all the Irish talent in this promo does the job of getting us excited for one of the most highly anticipated UFC events of the year. Even if it features perhaps the briefest cameo of all time from Neil Seery while ignoring all of the non-Irish fighters on the card.

It’s certainly a lot better than the first effort, anyway.
