PICS: Barry ‘Jazz’ Finnegan has created this fantastic Conor McGregor mural in a Dublin pub ahead of UFC 202

Impressive.

Maybe it’s because of the Olympics, maybe it’s because the return of the Premier League, but Conor McGregor’s rematch with Nate Diaz this weekend didn’t seem to be attracting as much hype as previous bouts featuring ‘The Notorious’.

That was until things kicked off in a big way at the UFC 202 press conference on Wednesday night and now that it’s closer, the anticipation levels have ramped up considerably.

In Dublin, 37 Dawson Street enlisted the services of renowned Dublin artist Barry ‘Jazz’ Finnegan (as they do on a regular basis), whose work we have featured on site many times in the past, to create a Conor McGregor mural in the pub ahead of the big fight.

Barry was kind enough to send us on the photos and we think you’ll agree it makes for an impressive sight.
