For me that egdes him marginally ahead of Rory as Top Irish Sportsman at the moment and undoubtedly should be Sportsperson of the Year.

Workrate, dedication and talent.

Really gets into his opponent's head too. At the weigh-in I thought the balance had tipped in Aldo's favour. He looked confident, and I thought McGregor looked a little nervous, maybe down to looking more gaunt than usual.

But fight night was the opposite. Aldo wouldnt even look at him and Conor was super relaxed. He has some power in that left hand.

In this game, his time will come when he will lose, and undoubtedly be hurt when it happens. But for now, he's nothing short of awesome

I'd say it was to the Irish begrudgers, although he should have done it for a lot longer.

Very sensitive of you to get upset at him tearing up a picture of Aldo and throwing darts at a picture!!

He does what he does to sell fights and get under the skin of his opponent. As a lot of the best fighters throughout history have done. Anyone who takes it seriously should cop themselves on! Or did you believe he'd really ride on horseback in Rio and take the city down!

Shane Lowry and Katie Taylor have had very good years also,but yeah I think McGregor should get it.
It's great Lowry,McGregor and Taylor all from Ireland doing well in their chosen sport on a world stage.
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Syferus

Lowry isn't even the best golfer in Ireland.

Well obviously he can't compete with you and your 57 All Ireland winners medals.

We can leave it 5 rather than 57. Don't want to boast
