IT’S OVER THREE months since we last saw Conor McGregor in action, and fans have been waiting patiently for the 26-year-old to return to the UFC octagon.
But the good news is that McGregor’s next assignment is only twelve days away, and the promotion has started to fire up the hype machine ahead of his main-event bout at UFC Boston on Sunday, 18 January.
This latest UFC promo video doesn’t actually mention McGregor’s opponent, so in case you didn’t know, he’ll be taking on veteran Russian-German fighter Dennis Siver.

But with UFC president Dana White promising McGregor a shot at reigning UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo if he wins, all eyes will be on the Dubliner.
Featuring footage from all four of McGregor’s UFC wins to date, as well as some of his best one-liners, this new promo — which you can check out below — is certainly worth 62 seconds of your time.
“To go down as the greatest of all-time, you need to put these people away and put them away in style,” McGregor said. “I truly feel unstoppable right now.
“In the whole history of MMA, no one has done what I’ve done or is doing what I’m doing. I personally have a vision of myself as the world champion. This is the beginning of the McGregor era.”
Don’t forget that although the UFC Boston prelims are scheduled to begin at 11pm Irish time on Sunday, 18 January, it will be the early hours of Monday morning before the first of the four Irishmen takes to the octagon.
Paddy Holohan, Cathal Pendred and Norman Parke are also on the bill, with McGregor’s bout likely to kick off at around 4.30am. Plenty of coffee and snacks should get you through the night, but as for the rest of Monday, hopefully the memories of four Irish victories will see you through.
