Twitter reaction to Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo’s heated press conference in Dublin

The Dublin crowd didn't hold back.

Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo and UFC kingpin Dana White took to the stage in Dublin this evening for the UFC 189 World Championship Tour. As expected, it wasn't pretty as most of the questions came from a partisan Irish crowd who wanted to give Aldo a piece of their mind. Here's the reaction to the mayhem.

The Aldo - McGregor press conference in Dublin was unbelievable. That atmosphere was Ricky Hatton-esk @ufc — Graeme Boulton (@geebos) March 31, 2015

I actually felt embarrassed to be irish watching the McGregor Aldo press conference — Ryan Cahill (@RyanCahi11) March 31, 2015

“@90thMin: Conor McGregor grabs the belt!!! http://t.co/M2Z7iIreUj” this is why Conor McGregor is a beauty! — Josh Smith (@smiff27) March 31, 2015

McGregor is an eejit from what I've seen of him. Hope the Aldo fella shuts him up. — Rob Brennan (@RobBrennan82) March 31, 2015

fucking hell McGregor literally has a whole nation behind him.. insane! — أسامة (@WhoSama94) March 31, 2015

Conor McGregor is Ali reborn. I didn't think so at first but he is definitely in Jose Aldo's head now. #UFCWorldTour — Julius Trimmeliti (@JTrimmeliti) March 31, 2015

"We'll build a fucking roof on Croker" best presser I've ever seen but McGregor is still getting burst. — Declan Taylor (@DecTaylor) March 31, 2015

Mcgregor/aldo conference absolutely crazy in Dublin... — Eoin Martin (@Eoinmartin1) March 31, 2015

Hoping there's poetic justice for Aldo and he smashes McGregor... But knowing my luck McGregor ends it in a round. — CJ (@TheEvilDead84) March 31, 2015

Theres only ooooooooooooooone Conor McGregor — . (@DeanoBF) March 31, 2015

"McGregor's coming for you, he'll do it in two, walking in McGregor Wonderland!" Oh my god. — Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) March 31, 2015

Smiling/laughing at McGregor’s antics & allowing drunk Irish abuse sure is an odd way to treat one of the best fighters in your organization — Yellow Power Ranger (@Sugarhigh5me) March 31, 2015

the McGregor/ Aldo press conference is sheer brilliance #UFCWorldTour — aileenmcevilly (@aileenmce) March 31, 2015

This Aldo/McGregor event is bananas. I think I'm getting drunk just by watching it. — Shit Joe Rogan Says (@ShitJRoganSays) March 31, 2015

The UFC just announced that Conor McGregor is the P4P Champ at grabbing people's Belts. #UFC — MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) March 31, 2015

I enjoy a lot of McGregor's antics. I also dislike a lot of them. Touching and/or lifting someone else's title in any sport is a big no no. — Derek O'Brien (@DirkVanBryn) March 31, 2015

I have never seen anything like that press conference in my life!! Incredible!! Hope mcgregor take his head off!! #UFC189 #UFCWorldTour — Gary Armstrong (@GaryArmstrong10) March 31, 2015

Say what you want about Conor McGregor but can't deny he is a proper showman — Glen McCarthy (@GMC_1993) March 31, 2015

I might be more excited about this Aldo x Mcgregor fight than the Mayweather x Pacquiao joint — El Paquete (@PACKS_MGB) March 31, 2015

Yeah, mixed to say the least. You can watch the press conference in full right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxoT34adJ_4
