Conor McGregor will have a familiar face with him in Vegas as Neil Seery added to UFC 189

Irish fight fans' tickets to Las Vegas in July are just getting more and more justified.

UFC flyweight Neil Seery has been added to the UFC 189 fight card that is headlined by a featherweight title fight between fellow Dubliner Conor McGregor and 145lb champion Jose Aldo. Seery takes on Louis Smolka at the July 18 event and there will be no love lost between the two after the pair exchanged barbs on Twitter earlier this year.

2 Tap will be looking for his third consecutive UFC victory after he saw off Phil Harris and Chris Beal in his last two outings with Brad Pickett the only man to hand Seery a defeat in the octagon. Opponent Louis Smolka shares an identical 2-1 UFC record with the Irishman and Da Last Samurai came out on top in his last bout against Richie Vaculik. Colour us excited.
