Fan’s guide to UFC Dublin Events

The UFC returns to the Emerald Isle for the second consecutive year. Last year we saw Conor McGregor headline and beat Diego Brandao with around 12,000 of his compatriots cheering him on.

This time though McGregor is not the attraction but still the UFC sold out minutes after tickets went on sale thus proving that Irish fans have an interest in mixed martial arts (or should I say: U-F-C).
