As if it was ever in doubt.
Conor McGregor was fighting on Saturday night.
It was in Las Vegas, it was for the unification of a world title belt. And it was against one of the best UFC fighters of all time.
Conor McGregor won on Saturday night. If you hadn’t heard.
But few – nay, no-one – could’ve predicted how the the previously undefeated Jose Aldo would crumble at the feet of the Irish man in record quick time.
Some Irish men did though, accidentally.
In a group message in the wee hours of Sunday morning, one of the friends warned the others that his stream (down with this sort of thing) was lagging and behind the real time. So he didn’t want any spoilers.
Naturally, he got plenty of them. But he got them before the fight even begun.
McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo at 5.54am Irish time but, beforehand, this group of friends were going to town with some bold, piss-take commentary on the fight that ended up being spot on.
But the poor lad with a slow connection will probably never believe them.
