The ten best tweets from last night's UFC 189

Last night will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most talked-about events in Irish sporting history.

Conor McGregor sailed into the history books by defeating Chad Mendes in the second round at Las Vegas' MGM Grand, winning the interim Featherweight title.

He still has to face Jose Aldo, who controversially pulled out during the run-up to UFC 189.

UFC President Dana White has already intimated that McGregor's first title defence could take place in Croke Park next summer if he unifies the belts and beats Aldo in his next fight. But as of now, it's up in the air.

As you'd expect, the fight set Twitter on fire.

You've gotta respect fans that would go to this length.
