He WON! Congratulations are in order for Conor McGregor today

Conor McGregor is a very happy camper this morning.

Last week he was nominated for two ESPY Awards and last night the Irish fighter WON Best Fighter of the Year.

The awards, which are hosted by US TV network ABC, were an extremely glitzy affair last night with the world's most glamorous sports stars stepping out on the red carpet.

He was also nominated for Best Breakthrough Athlete but that award went to Jake Arrieta, an American baseball player.

 

It is an honour to take 'Best Fighter' at the prestigious ESPY awards! I am deep in preparation to come and take out everyone that has spoke my name in vain. I will get you all.

Ah, Conor, never change.
