LAS VEGAS — Conor McGregor will have quite the unique entrance Saturday night.
“The Notorious” confirmed that Sinead O’Connor will sing his walkout song live at UFC 189 before his fight with Chad Mendes for the interim featherweight title at MGM Grand.
“The McGregor show is a spectacle,” the Irishman said at UFC 189 open workouts Tuesday.
McGregor comes out to a mix of O’Connor’s “Foggy Dew,” a legendary Irish ballad. O’Connor wrote that she was coming to Las Vegas to “sing Conor McGregor into his fight” last week on Facebook, but the UFC has not yet made an official statement on it.
McGregor, who is not easily impressed, is extremely pleased that O’Connor will be there in person. UFC president Dana White also happens to be a huge fan of the Irish singer.
“I’ve been coming out to Sinead for a long time,” McGregor said. “To have her sing live, it’s gonna be historic.”
