Conor McGregor will be granted a title fight with Jose Aldo in a 90,000-seater soccer stadium should he defeat Dennis Siver at UFC Boston later this month. The venue for the bout has yet to be announced but with rumours circulating that it will take place in Croke Park, Irish fans simply can’t contain their excitement on social media.
