CONOR MCGREGOR blew away Nate Diaz in Vegas – then took to the town for a proper Irish celebration.
Notorious got his revenge on Diaz in a five-round epic, winning by majority decision amidst a raucous atmosphere at the T-Mobile Arena.
And in true Belfast style, McGregor went out to celebrate and met up with Rory McIlroy and pop star Niall Horan for a proper knees up.
The Northern Irish golfer – a four-time Major winner – didn’t compete in this summer’s Olympics over fears of the Zika virus but will be a key member of the Europe Ryder Cup team later this year.
McGregor said after the fight: “The king is back! If you want this trilogy, it’s on MY terms.
“I came up to 170, now you’ll come back to 155 and we’ll finish what we’ve started.”
