Screaming Conor McGregor’s name got Mike Tyson to stop for a picture with these Irish chancers

Fighting Irish

Patrick McCarry

The Notorious opens a lot of doors in the USA.

Keith Hogan and his buddy are off to Las Vegas for Conor McGregor’s title unification bout in Las Vegas this weekend.

The lads were dragging up the rear to board their flight but, luckily, their casualness paid off.

Iron Mike Tyson is also travelling to Vegas for UFC 194 and was boarding the plane when he was spied by Keith.

We’ll let him take up the tale:

We were the last two boarding on the plane from New York to Vegas and who is only going through the First Class area to board only Mike Tyson.

‘Mike can we have a photo?’

‘No, no, no. I’m too busy’

Then he turns around: “Are you guys Irish?”

We replied ‘yes’ then I shouted out “The McGregorinator’.

So Tyson says get a photo so lads. “I have time for the Irish”.
