Everyone is talking about Conor McGregor these days, possibly more than he is, and that's saying something. The Dublin UFC fighter is proving an unstoppable force as he landed yet another victory last Saturday in Boston and will now go on to fight Brazilian Jose Aldo for the UFC featherweight title in Las Vegas.
The fight was played out live on BT Sport in the early hours of Monday morning last, but 3e showed it here on Tuesday night, bringing in an remarkable amount of viewers for the channel.
An impressive 382,700 tuned in to watch Conor defect Dennis Siver. So what? Says you. More people watch The Late Late Show. Well this is 3e we are talking about here, they normally average about 60,000 viewers around that time.
No doubt about it, it was a smart move on the part of TV3 to gain the rights to broadcast all UFC events, as it looks like Conor McGregor and MMA in general are only getting more popular by the day here.
