We’re here to takeover
Whether it was Jose Aldo or Chad Mendes (or anyone else) standing opposite Conor McGregor inside that Octagon on July 11 one thing is certain and that’s that there was always going to be a huge amount of Irish fans in the MGM Grand.
And as Saturday’s fight approaches the Irish invasion into Las Vegas is well on truly on, with up to 10,000 expected in Sin City come showtime.
But while we’ve known for many months that fans will descend on the strip en masse it seems like some American folk have been caught unawares.
Some seem so surprised that they’re committing cardinal grammatical errors
The Irish have taken over Vegas…their everywhere..its crazy!

They’re coming from Ireland and they’re on their way from across the Americas
Counted at least 10 – 12 Irish people on my flight from Chicago to Vegas and were only 50% boarded so far.
