Fun fact: Conor is more Mexican then Nate Diaz
Previously it was thought that the Irish were Celtic and or Viking or both
However new DNA studies have revealed that the Irish also have large Spanish ancestry

Conor is a Celtic warrior with Viking and Spanish DNA
I live in Southern California and I can tell you that Mexicans love Conor as much as the Irish do.
The Irish and Mexicans have always loved each other.
There was a famous large group of Irish soldiers who stood in Mexico and helped Mexico fight for their independence. The Irish soldiers remained there and that's why there's a segment of Mexicans who look Irish, like Canelo. Canelo's birth name is derived from that history.
Conor has always had a connection with Mexicans and Mexicans have always felt a connection with Conor
Even hardcore cholos who are all raza'd out were going for Conor over Nate. They were like, for Conor I will say fuck the raza. I love Conor. Fuck Nate.
Bonus fun fact since we are on the topic of genetic history:
Remember how Conor use to talk about his ancestors conquering villages? Conor was not kidding lol. Go look up the history of the McGregor clan.
Conor comes from a serious bloodline of ancient warriors.
The McGregors were known for punching far above their weight and routinely tried to conquer the biggest and baddest foes possible.
This is probably why Conor always has a deep urge to seek out and destroy who people say is the best - and always tries to accomplish the "impossible"
It's in Conor's genetic history to seek out the greatest challenge possible and conquer it.
This is why Conor always wanted Aldo, always wanted 2 belts, boxed Floyd, always wanted Khabib, will want Gsp, will want a 3rd belt etc.
This is why no amount of money will ever satisfy Conor because the only thing that can make him whole is to conquer in a fight, and make more money. Its in his DNA.
Seriously, I cant stress it enough, go look up the history of the McGregor clan. It's fascinating
Only the toughest of McGregors would survive and live to pass on their genes.
So this means that Conor has been bred from a long line of some of the purest and greatest of fast twitch warrior genetics ever. Conor is a serious serious specimen.
Conor probably has the most fast twitch of anyone I've ever seen in combat sports. When fresh Conor was even dodging Floyd and out-countering Floyd.
What's special is that Conor has the intelligence to match, and developed the skill based high IQ style to maximize and shut down any opponent
You can study Conor from any angle and it's fascinating. There's never been anyone in history like Conor
