Photos: Conor McGregor Gets A New Tattoo, And It’s A ‘Wild’ One
Since his octagon debut at 2013’s UFC on Fuel TV 9, Irish featherweight Connor McGregor has taken the 145-pound arena by storm, revamping it into arguably the most popular division in all of mixed martial arts (MMA) right now.
Winning five straight fights with four finishes, ‘Notorious’ has earned a pivotal title fight against dominant divisional champ Jose Aldo in the main event of July 11’s UFC 189 from Las Vegas in what could be the biggest fight of 2015, if not ever.
He’s picked up an absolutely massive amount of fans in the process, and as a byproduct of his newfound fame, he’s also picked up a sizeable amount of ink on his body, as well. McGregor showed up to his UFC Fight Night 26 bout with Max Holloway with a shiny new chest piece.
Now, he’s added another major piece of artwork to his collection, and it’s a curious one, to say the least. Let’s just say that if Vitor Belfort is the middleweight “lion,” McGregor is the featherweight “tiger”:
