Las Vegas in May will see an Irish invasion.

Mr UFC, Dana White has confirmed that the world title showdown between champion Jose Aldo and challenger Conor McGregor will take place in Las Vegas in May.

After McGregor’s demolition job on Dennis Siver in Boston, Irish fans were hoping that the Aldo fight would take place in Croke Park.

However those hopes were dashed by White who cited costs, the weather and curfews as some of the obstacles preventing that from becoming a reality.

McGregor seemed unperturbed and remains as confident as ever ahead of what will no doubt be his toughest test yet.
