Conor McGregor was in attendance for last night’s huge heavyweight showdown at Wembley Stadium.
Daniel Dubois shocked many by putting an absolute beating on the former unified champion Anthony Joshua dropping him multiple times before ending the bout after momentary being hurt himself in round five.
Minutes after retaining the IBF championship, Dubois shouted to the crowd “are you not entertained?” before saying: “I’m a gladiator, you know?
And one man that appeared to be loving every moment of the bout was the Irish MMA superstar Conor McGregor.
When Joshua was knocked down at the end of the round by Dubois, McGregor could be seen to be very animated to say the least.
Last year the former double-UFC champion’s Forged Irish Stout sponsored Joshua’s event against Robert Helenius.
We all remember seeing McGregor feeding Joshua his drink in bizarre scenes but fans were not sure who he was wanting to win in this fight and debated it online.
