WATCH: Conor McGregor is adored by Russian MMA fans

Worldwide appeal

We’re not here to take part, we’re here to take over.

Conor McGregor called it back in 2013, and again in 2014. The Irish invasion of the UFC continued, last night, at UFC Glasgow with wins for Paddy Holohan and Joseph Duffy.

Leading the way, however, is The Notorious and he has certainly grabbed the attention of these MMA fans in Russia.

Moscow, where they watched the McGregor versus Chad Mendes UFC 189 fight, is two hours ahead of Ireland so this passionate crew only did not have to set their alarm clocks for crazy o’clock.

Still, they show an awful lot of hussle for 7:30am [skip to 5:10 for their reaction to McGregor’s winning flurry].
