After devastating knockout at UFC Sweden 2, Irishman receives praise from Dana White

the irish Conor McGregor was one of the highlights of UFC Sweden 2, an event held last Saturday (06), in Stockholm. The fighter, who was making his UFC debut, took no notice of Marcus Brimage and knocked out his rival in the first round. After his successful debut, McGregor received the award for the best knockout of the show – he won US$60 in prize money – and several compliments from Dana White, president of the franchise.

The director even bets on the Irish to expand the market in the United Kingdom. Conor is practically guaranteed to participate in UFC on Fox Sports 1, the first Ultimate event on the broadcaster's exclusive channel, scheduled for August, in Boston. And it could also be the attraction of an event in Dublin, planned for the future.

“I am proud to represent my country. Dreams are made of this, and it was just the beginning for me,” said McGregor. “Irish people accessed my Facebook, it was crazy and they were already getting emotionally attacked. But that doesn't make any difference to me, because there in the Octagon we need to be free of emotion. We can’t carry emotions there”, added the 24-year-old fighter.
