Conor McGregor is undeniably proud of his Irish lineage. His pride and patriotism splash from the whiskey he manufactures to the tricolor he wears inside the Octagon. Furthermore, his joy seemingly knows no bound when a fellow mixed martial artist from Ireland secures victory and is declared the world champion.
Recently, McGregor’s teammate, Danni McCormack, secured a commendable victory over Valesca Machado, in the main event of Invicta FC 52, and became the first Irish to become the Invicta strawweight champion. Without a doubt, the former UFC two-division champion felt overjoyed and shared his happiness on social media. He congratulated McCormack with immense pride in his heart. On top of that, the SBG coach, John Kavanagh, also celebrated the Irish woman’s victory. Nevertheless, the joy and pride in the hearts of the Irish people have sky-rocketed with McCormack’s latest achievement.
