It’s red panty night when you sign to fight me, yee. Back at home with your wife - Jose Aldo

[waynedr]

the irish arn't here to take over, their here to take part!

[edamesify]

Smolka is one exciting fighter who remains easy-going and humble. Props to him for rising to the challenge of headlining a fight card in a hostile territory! But what's with the Union Jack? He's an American representing the state of Hawaii! Did he choose to waive a foreign flag or was that another blooper on the part of the event organizers?

[Savileaurus]

So glad he destroyed that McGregor wannabe. Guy's cringe to watch.

[capriguelleri]

[Babsyallan]

Can anyone tell me what smolka walk in music was last night? Cheers

[mrnevermind]

I don't know why but the way he talks reminds me of BJ Penn

This is hilarious these comments bashing on the Irish over these few defeats just goes to show how the invasion is in everybodys head just because there own country could not support anybody the way the irish support our own they have to spew hatred and take these defeats go run a mile with them. You Could still hear that astonishing passion after paddy lost and also for his aponent. People are jealous they seen the atmosphere that we can bring i honestly think everyone is baffled and don't have anything else to do but try and kill the vibe and spread negativity. we will stick by our warriors win or loose our people will still be by there sides screaming and chanting there hearts out because at the end of the day we all go to war. people need to recognize this if they already have not its the irish passion we have not the irish win streak

Why is everyone so anti Irish? It's a tiny island nation of 4.5Mill people, they punch above their weight in anything they participate in.

I feel like they need to lift some weights, they some tooth picks. Look at demetrious Johnson, he's ripped and strong compared to these lil guys
