ALL ANYBODY CAN talk about today is the big UFC Fight Night. Love him or strongly dislike him, Conor McGregor will be up against Chad Mendes in Las Vegas at about 5am in the morning, and Ireland will be watching.

We all know by now that Conor’s original opponent, Jose Aldo, dropped out due to rib injury. This means that McGregor will now be fighting for the interim UFC featherweight champion title, instead of facing Aldo to become the undisputed champion of the division.

Much debate has surrounded the validity of Aldo’s ‘surrender’. One fan, quick as anything, put together this admirable outfit for the big fight to remind us all of that lad in hiding.

Scathing.

Meanwhile, the lads of U2 have been showing their support too.
