He may have lost a fight over the weekend, but he's still our champion.

Everyone from Justin Bieber to Niall Horan and Bruno Mars shared their disappointment that Conor lost his fight, but that doesn't stop the Irishman from spreading his love.

Yep, the MMA fighter has teamed up with Busweiser in order to make someone's dream come true.

The beverage company is offering a prize of €50,000 to give someone a chance of taking their passion to new and exciting territory.

Conor announced the details of Busweiser Dream Big in a short video and is calling upon his Irish supporters to take part. 

“Budweiser Dream Big is about chasing your dreams. I believe it’s very important not just to have dreams, but to recognise what your dream is and what you are passionate about, and never give up on your dream,” said Conor.

“To those who are looking to win this competition, show up, speak passionately about where you want to go, who you want to meet, and the person with the most passion and dedication to their craft will shine through. So make sure to dream big.”

The winner of the competition won't be announced until July 4 2016, but if you want to find out more, visit here.

Nate Diaz shocked us all last night when he tapped out our champ Conor McGregor  – but the Notorious still has his fans standing by him, and one of those fans happens to be Justin Bieber.

The Biebs took to social media to speak out about the Irish UFC champion and insists Conor is still the top man.

After the shocking fight, Justin toasted the Irishman saying: "Still to McGregor. To McGregor!

"He's still the champ. That broke my heart." It broke our hearts too, Justin.

When voters either fill their ballot card out incorrectly or tried to vote for a candidate who wasn't actually on the ballot, the vote gets spoiled.

Thousands of ballot cards have already been spoiled in this general election, but we didn't expect to see this.

Some nutter decided to write in Conor McGregor as a candidate, they even gave him a imaginary ticked box.

And while Conor was NOT running in the election, we do wonder if this master mind was on to something. 

Maybe in the next general election, champ…

Despite having many glorious movie stars, Irish men have been voted the ugliest in the entire world. *Sad face*.

International dating website, Beautifulpeople.com, which is solely for "beautiful men and women," revealed that less than one in ten of Irish single males are accepted onto the site.

We find this extremely harsh on our poor lads and also totally untrue. So, to clear things up, here's a list of HOT Irish men. You won't be disappointed:

10. Michael Fassbender

Whether he's Bobby Sands or Steve Jobs, we totally swoon whenever Michael comes onto our screens. 

 

9. Conor McGregor

Our own UFC legend, we can't leave Conor out of this list.

 

8. Colin Farrell

He's been the hot Irish guy for yeeears, and that's not going to stop anytime soon.

 

7. Allen Leech

Our Downton Abbey heart throb. Sometimes we watch the show just for him.

 

6. Jack Reynor

He's up for being the new Han Solo, and rightly so, just LOOK at him.

 

5. Chris O'Dowd

He's a geek but for some reason we find him hot. Ah well, it is what it is.

 

4. Pierce Brosnan

Come on, he was James Bond for god's sake!

 

3. Robert Sheehan

Our curly haired dude has always had a way with the ladies.

 

2. Aidan Turner

We're watching Poldark NON-stop. Just for Aidan Turner's bod.

 

1. Jamie Dornan

This Northern Irish handsome fellow THANK YOU LORD FOR JAMIE DORNAN.

Gardai have confirmed today that Conor McGregor is under police investigation following a picture he posted to social media yesterday. 

The photograph features a masked individual assumed to be Conor inside a white BMW holding what appears to be a rifle with the caption: "Put the fight game in the bag and step away from the vehicle."

The photo has not been removed from the account at the time of writing. 

While many news outlets are suggesting the weapon is a replica, Gardai confirmed to the Independent this morning that the current UFC Featherweight champ is under investigation. 

"We are investigating the circumstances under which the photo was taken. Gardai from Crumlin are investigating."

The picture was posted to the sportstar's Instagram page in the early hours of this morning and appears to have been taken in Ireland. 

The photo also features Conor's BMW i8 car which is reported to cost a cool €150,000.

We love our Irish fighter, Conor McGregor, but it seems he's not too popular with one famous champion.

In an interview with FightHype.com, Floyd Mayweather said that UFC champion, Conor, is brash and arrogant.

He also said because Mr McGregor is white, he gets no heat for all the rude and irrational things he says. 

"He talks a lot trash and people praise him for it, but when I did it, they say I'm cocky and arrogant. So biased," said Floyd. 

He didn't stop there though, telling the website that he's annoyed because it all comes down to race.

"I ain't racist… "I ain't racist at all, but I'm telling you racism still exists," he finished.

Conor McGregor is one happy bunny right now, after defeating Jose Aldo over the weekend. 

But it seems that Conor may have another job on his hands as actor Mark Wahlberg wants him to star in one of his upcoming movies. 

TMZ Sports reports that Mark is trying to find the right fit for the UFC fighter and is considering giving him a role in one of his many, many projects.

The Daddy's Home star was out promoting the new flick in New York recently when he told the website that it's "very possible" the two could end up working together in the near future. 

Let's hope that this gig lasts longer than 13 seconds!

Conor McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds in a great victory in Las Vegas last night.

Conor and Jose's first battle was cancelled back in July, so last nights fight was well awaited, and the Irish were as proud as ever to name McGregor our champion.

We like to think we're champions ourselves sometimes, but there's somethings we only wish we could do in only 13 seconds:

1. Apply our make-up

This can take up SO much time in the morning and a 13 second routine would really make life much easier.

 

2. Take OFF our make-up

Just as much effort as putting on your make-up, is taking it off. It's honestly one of the most daunting bedtime tasks, am I right?

 

3. Dry our hair

Especially women with long hair, it seems like it can take a whole day to get our hair bone dry.

A magical 13-second hairdryer would come in handy here. 

 

4. Ordering take-away

When hunger strikes, theres nothing better than ordering a tasty Domino's straight to your door. But the minute you hit that order button, it seems like it takes an ETERNITY for your food to get to you.

Domino's have made it a bit quicker now, though. 

 

5. Travel to work

Having a long commute to work sometimes feels like it takes up your whole day.

How much easier would it be to skip the grimy public transport and teleport to work in a few seconds? If only dreams came true.

 

6. Cook

Even though a home cooked meal sounds delish, the last thing you want after a long day is to slave over a hot oven.

Microwaves are grand, but a roast chicken dinner in 13 seconds sounds way more awesome. 

 

7. Gym time

We all know the healthy way to achieve a hot bod is to put in some gym time, but an hour on the treadmill… really?!

 

8. Nail polish

The bottles that reads, 'Dry in 60 seconds' lie, because it honestly feels like HOURS until your nails are dry again. #Struggles.

 

9. Pick out clothes

No matter if it's for work, date night ot your Christmas party, choosing an outfit can take anywhere between a week to an hour.

If only we could make decisions that bit faster.

 

10. Getting out of bed

The 20 minutes we all spend convincing ourselves to get up in the morning could be used way more productively.

He, of course, beat Chad Mendes last month in Las Vegas in a nail-biting fight that had millions glued to their screens. 

Next up for Conor McGregor is Jose Aldo – in the city's MGM Grand Garden Arena, in December.

And while the Dubliner has a packed training schedule, he's also enjoying a little down time in Sin City, making club appearances that delight his many fans.

Last night, however, was strictly about kicking-back and having fun: he was spotted in Vegas's famed 1 OAK venue, a favourite of celebrities and sports stars.

The club took to Instagram this evening to share news and a snap of Conor: "UFC champ Conor McGregor ended up at 1 OAK last night," it said in an accompanying caption. 

It is not known whether his long-term girlfriend, Walkinstown-native Dee Devlin, 28, accompanied the 27-year-old.

Among those to regularly frequent the Las Vegas Boulevard venue are Kim Kardashian, Ciara, Chris Brown, Pitbull, and Katy Perry.

Scott Disick is furthermore a big fan; he's also paid five-figure fees to hang-out at there. Though most recently, he was forced to cancel a much-hyped appearance shortly after his July breakup with Kourtney Kardashian.

Conor also does club appearances in the city: following his win against Mr Mendes, he was signed up to do a pool-party at the SLS Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.

However, Crumlin-boy Conor, who spent time on the dole queue before he found fame, says he'll never "forget the struggles".

"I never forget where I came from. I never ever forget the hard times,” he has explained.

“I pinch myself because I am surrounded by luxury. But make no mistake – it’s luxury built on sacrifice.”

He and Dee often celebrate his milestone wins with OTT Las Vegas shopping sprees, and he also recently splashed out on matching  his 'n' hers Audemars Piguet diamond-encrusted watches, each costing between €30,000 to €50,000, for him and his girlfriend.

 

Speaking to the Guardian after his win over Chad Mendes, he admitted: “We went shopping for ten hours straight yesterday.

"I got us a limo and we stuffed it with shopping bags so it was a great day and then we had a great night."

In case you missed it this week, there was outrage around the world when Cecil the lion was shot and killed with a crossbow for sport.

The protected animal was killed following a request put in by a U.S based dentist who paid for a hunt to be arranged in order to have the animal shot and killed.

Since then, people around the world have been very vocal about their outrage, so much so that the dentist has gone into hiding. Protests were staged outside of his practice and have forced Walter Palmer into hiding.

Palmer claims his innocence despite the huge social media backlash he has faced since the news came to light. Officials in Zimbabwe, where Cecil was a hugely popular attraction for tourists, are no saying that Walter could face legal action and a prison sentence, according to CNN.

Now though, the Terminator himself has called for action against Mr Palmer and he’s calling in a favour from one Irish sports star. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling on MMA fighter Conor McGreggor to defend the honour of Cecil the lion. In the past the Dublin native has spoken of his respect and love of wild animals. While in the U.S he told talk show host Conan O'Brien: 

"I’m obsessed with animals. To watch them in their natural environment is pretty spectacular.”

We can only imagine what Conor, 27, will have to say about this proposal, we'll be keeping our eyes and ears peeled that's for sure.

It's been quite a hectic few days for Conor McGregor: on Saturday in Las Vegas he won his high-profile UFC fight at the MGM Grand hotel.

But the celebrations continued long after the weekend, as Conor celebrated his 27th birthday yesterday.

His long-term girlfriend, Dee Devlin, took to Instagram to wish him a very happy birthday, sharing a photo of the two kissing in a pool in Nevada. 

The couple have been together for five years and Dee shared this picture with the caption "Biggest happy birthday to the most amazing person on the planet! I am so proud of you babe you are my everything xxx"

 

Biggest happy birthday to the most amazing person on the planet! I am so proud of you babe you are my everything xxx

A photo posted by Dee Devlin (@deedevlin1) on

This post comes two days after Dee shared further congratulations for her beau with a lengthily post to say how proud she is and to thank all of the fans at home and the ones that travelled for the fight. 

"To say that I am proud is a MAJOR understatement! I am so on cloud 9 right now I can't even put it into words!

"Thank you to every single person who made the trip out to Vegas to support Conor last night! The place was absolutely buzzin! And to all of the fans at home who also had a big part to play in making this event so special.

"Hours upon hours, years upon years of hard work and complete dedication to his craft accumulated last night. I am so grateful right now it's overwhelming. We did it babe!! I love you more than anything Xxxxxx"

As Conor McGregor prepares to take on his opponent Chad Mendes tonight, our news feeds are filled with pictures and videos from friends who are there and we know by the time tonight comes, that's about to get a whole lot worse. 

It didn't really hit us until right now how much we really really wish we were in Las Vegas to watch the fight (well to be in the vicinity while it's happening) and to soak up the atmosphere. 

We may not even stay up to watch the fight, but still we just became McGregor's biggest fans and want to be over there, like now. 

Here are some of the main reasons we are sickened we're in Dublin and not Vegas this weekend:

1. The fight

Ok maybe not so much the actual fight, more so the ability to say 'yea shur I was there' to anyone that ever brings up the fight again ever.   

2. The Atmosphere

With so many Irish people over there, the atmosphere will undoubtedly be insane. Every Irish person you meet over there would be your best friend within five minutes as we all come together through our 'love' of mixed martial arts. 

3. The weather

Imagine spending the day before getting ready to go watch the fight topping up your tan? This is actually not fair…

4. The drinks

You would surely wake up with the mother of all hangovers tomorrow but it would definitely be worth it. Win, lose or draw, there's bound to be a massive Irish session in the MGM grand hotel tonight. 

5. The shopping

While your over there for the fight you might as well make a holiday out of it eh? What better way to kill the hangover and the post-fight blues than heading to the shops and we would definitely do a lot of damage, actually maybe it's better for our bank balances that were stuck at home.
