The ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl has taken over the internet and has become a viral sensation. Her hilarious spitting act has now garnered attention from the world of mixed martial arts as Conor McGregor himself questions if the online community has found the girl yet.

The Irish mixed martial artist sent the entire realm of combat sports into disappointment as he pulled out of his fight against Michael Chandler. The ‘Mystic Mac’ had his toe broken weeks before his return to the UFC after being out of action for about three years. But now it seems like McGregor is following everything instead of the fight with Chandler. Let’s see what the former double champion said about the rising trend, and keep reading to find out who this viral sensation is.

‘Hawk Thua’ girl has Conor McGregor hooked on her trend

As soon as the viral video began spreading on various social media platforms, the netizens began questioning the woman’s identity. And one among the spectators who have been trying to locate the infamous persona was McGregor himself. The former UFC double division champion recently took to X and typed down an uncanny question, taking a break perhaps from calling out his opponents. He asked, “Have we located hawk tuah yet?” It was indeed a move that the world did not anticipate from the ‘Mystic Mac’. 

But what is ‘Hawk Tuah’? It actually is the sound of vigorous spitting. And thanks to the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, it has now become a viral internet sensation, as she demonstrated the very action in a quite hilarious and animated style as she appeared on Tim and Dee TV. 

The fight fans along with the rest of the world have kept reacting to the clip, ensuring that the trend goes on rising. But with ‘The Notorious’ swooping in to know about the viral woman, one can fearlessly say that the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl has become quite famous, don’t you think?

Within days, the trend has exceeded all expectations. The online market is already selling out with apparel and various other merchandise about the meme and the viral words ‘hawk tuah’. Nonetheless, even if McGregor has caught up to the girl’s identity, we have.

Hailey Welch, who made the gesture, while answering the question, “What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?,” is a Nashville native. She currently has over 15000 Instagram followers, and keeping up with her rise to fame even launched the “Hawk Tuah ’24” hat line, which has apparently sold out in record time. She is a preschool teacher, and although initial reports suggested that she had lost her job given the gesture was deemed inappropriate by many, ‘The Tribune’ confirmed that this was further from the truth.

But did you know that even the famed UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, was also trapped in the trend?

Even Joe Rogan wasn’t spared from the trend

On the set of JRE Fight Companion, Rogan along with his guests, Bryan Callen, Brian Simpson, and Brendan Schaub, finally talked about the viral clip. As the conversation proceeded the JRE host was left wondering about the amount of money that the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl would have pocketed owing to the exponentially growing trend. After all, blowing up within 10 days is quite an achievement.

Rogan said, “I wonder how much money she is making out of this. Hopefully a lot. It is smart that she jumped right on it because you have to think it’s only been a few days. I know someone blew her up in June like 10 days so it’s 10 days. There are a handful of other videos on Tim and D’s page featuring the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl.”

And it seems like Rogan was right, given the woman’s merch line and people from all walks of life, be it the UFC entities or the Stanley Cup final that showcased and celebrated the viral meme with customized jerseys, Welch continues to capture fans across the globe. What do you think of McGregor’s question about the internet trend?
