A certain UFC interim champion is going to sprinkle a little stardust on the depleted UFC Dublin card tonight.
Seeing as Conor McGregor’s image and reputation was being used to sell UFC Dublin, even before Joseph Duffy pulled out injured, it is no surprise The Notorious is being wheeled out tonight to gee-up the capacity crowd in 3Arena.
Conor McGregor is going to get a walkout to his cageside seat at UFC Fight Night 76 tonight in Dublin. That's going to be a wild scene.

However the idea of Ireland’s one true UFC superstar being afforded an official entrance to the auditorium did not go down well with the fine folks on Twitter.

Pretty sure Conor McGregor is basically Jesus Risen in Ireland at this point.
