Nate Kelly thanked Conor McGregor and his team for their support

For those who don’t remember, allow me to take you down memory lane. Nate Kelly is the kid who intervened and took a jibe at Jose Aldo during the iconic 2015 press conference in Dublin. The kid has now all grown up and has followed the footsteps of his mentor to compete in the sport of MMA.

At the PFL Europe 4 fight held on a Friday, Kelly who had an amateur record of 2-2 subdued his opponent Callum Seaton who had an amateur record of 1-3. The electric event took place before a Dublin audience at the famous 3Arena and made Kelly’s great performance even better.

After winning his battle against Seaton, Kelly issued a thank you note to Conor McGregor and his team for their unprecedented support towards him. McGregor’s Forged Irish Stout even gave a hamper to the winning fighter. The official Instagram page of Forged Irish Stout shared the winning moment of Kelly that was reverted with a thank you note from the fighter.

“What’s up Conor, it’s me. Thank you for your support throughout the years. Thank you for the support, the forged Irish stout. I’m gonna sip on these now and enjoy it. Thank you for everything. Thank you for the support, and let’s go,” said Nate Kelly.

That is not all, as the fighter is seemingly glad about the ordeal from 2015.

While in conversation with All Out Fighting, Kelly said “It’s like when you are a kid, you don’t really think about things and the consequences that our actions have… Every action we take always has a consequence.
