Conor McGregor recently reposted a hilarious video of an Irish fan choosing him over Mike Tyson

During an episode of the popular talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! featuring Mike Tyson, an Irishwoman was asked who would emerge victorious in a possible Mike Tyson vs Conor McGregor fight. In response, the lady appreciated both the fighters' skills but chose 'The Notorious' as he was Irish.

Interestingly, while the fan was answering the question, Tyson appeared beside her. The woman was visibly taken aback and erupted in laughter.

UFC double champion Conor McGregor reposted a clip from the episode on his Instagram stories. He also appreciated the Irishwoman for showing her loyalty and wrote:

“That’s how you back your own!”

Conor McGregor's last outing in the octagon was at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier back in July 2021. During the fight, McGregor suffered a brutal broken left fibula and tibia and has been out of the octagon ever since.

While there has been no confirmation by either McGregor or UFC authorities on a fixed date for the Irishman's return, it has been highly speculated that it is going to take place this year.
