Irish MMA icon Conor McGregor was here, there, and everywhere during the Katie Taylor-Chantelle Cameron fight week. The 34-year-old was in high spirits to see Taylor compete in a historic matchup in her home country. ‘The Notorious’ event helped Eddie Hearn promote the event and set it up in Ireland.
The former UFC double champion’s presence in the arena made headlines all over the world as cameras caught his reactions to Taylor’s in-ring performance. But that was not all that made the news. ‘Mystic Mac’ posed for pictures with several notable figures present for the fight. One of them was the boxing star and OnlyFans sensation Ebanie Bridges.
Pictures of Bridges cozying up to McGregor went viral on social media and fans had a field day with cheeky reactions. While many of them joked about the pair posing for pictures, some fans noticed their expensive watches as well. Furthermore, Bridges had an interesting reaction to an observation by a fan regarding one of the pictures she shared on her socials.

The reach that Bridges has been getting since these pictures went viral is a testament to McGregor’s star power. The Irishman was there to support his compatriot and promote his alcohol brands. However, the night ended in disappointment for him as Taylor lost the fight on the scorecards.
What was your reaction to the fight? And what do you think of the pictures? Does it look like McGregor is manhandling Bridges?
