At what point does a man go from being a great fighter to being an icon? A legend? How many more wins? The Irish have been in the spot light ever since Conor stepped foot in the UFC. It has become cool to be Irish because of him. Ireland is the place to be when Conor fights.

Will the statue be made? Should it be made? Is it too soon?

I say, if he wins another belt. Let the statue rise.

It should look something like this...

I'm surprised there isn't one already.

Getting really sick of Conor nutt huggers claiming that Conor put Ireland on the map. Ireland isn't some new nation that needs some pompous clown in a fringe sport to put it on the map. It's just as bad as Conor claiming he's the first Irishman to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Are they putting up statues of Aldo in Brazil? Jones in upstate NY? GSP in Montreal?

No because MMA is much more important to you than it is the rest of the world.

Haha @ anyone taking this seriously

1. It's a PR stunt by a bookmaker. Anything Mcgregor related is cheap publicity.
2. It's an Irish Mirror "story". Most people wouldn't wipe their arse with that paper.
3. The average irish person doesn't give a shit about MMA

Will Mr T call him out at the unveiling?
