Conor McGregor launches hunt for Irishwoman who defended him in Mike Tyson sketch
“That’s how you back your own.”
Conor McGregor & fan who defended him in skit about Mike Tyson
In a now deleted Instagram post, Conor McGregor launched a search for an Irish woman who defended him in a comedy sketch featuring Mike Tyson.
The woman was asked who she thought would win in a fight, McGregor or Tyson, to which she said “That’s a difficult question…”
“I don't know, they both have the aggression… I'm going to have to go with Conor because he's Irish,” she decides.
The camera man then says to the woman “alright, tell him,” before she is startled by Mike Tyson appearing by her side.

Sharing a video of the skit, filmed for The Jimmy Kimmel show, McGregor said: “Who is this proper Irish lady, loyal to the backbone in the US can anyone tell me?”
“I wish to reach out and give a gift. That is how you do it! If you ever found yourself publicly going against your own,” he continued.
The MMA star has since deleted the Instagram post leaving us to assume he has already found the mystery woman.

“That’s how you back your own,” he added, sharing the video to his Instagram stories.
