Of course they’re bloody drunk.
Irish fight fans have spent enough money to fly to Las Vegas in support of Conor McGregor so are more than entitled to enjoy themselves.
Joe Rogan offered a short, sweet and undeniably accurate description of the travelling fanbase as the UFC 194 prelims came to a close.
“The Irish people are drunk and they’re on fire.”
It was meant as a compliment as the arena was the loudest it’s been since UFC 189 and most fans simply found it hilarious.

We get that Rogan divides opinion on a number of topics but we’re giving him a pass on this one, completely innocent.
