A class reception for a class act.
It was late when Conor McGregor finally entered the Octagon, beat Chad Mendes and became the UFC Interim Featherweight Champion, but the night was still young in Las Vegas.
McGregor hit the town to celebrate his magnificent victory and when he arrived at the after-party at Foxtail in the SLS Hotel, as seen in this video from TMZ, the crowd were on hand to give him a rapturous reception.
McGregor was one of about 50,000* Irishmen partying in Vegas last night and even though he’ll still be feeling the effects of a couple of Chad Mendes blows, we can safely say that there’ll be plenty more of his countrymen with sorer heads than he has this morning.
*possibly a slight exaggerration
