In a recent interview Conor McGregor said that when he returned home to Dublin, his "pretty, pretty face" was all over the buildings, and it looks like he's right.
This huge banner of Ireland's biggest UFC star was unveiled today on O'Connell Street in Dublin, cementing his place as one of the country's most recognisable personalities and as a sporting icon.

The rest of Ireland's UFC stars, Cathal Pendred, Ais Daly and Paddy Holohan were also on hand, given the banner is about the 'Fighting Irish' who look set to continue their take over, just as McGregor himself predicted back in July.
