MMA community celebrates July 4 Independence Day weekend

We’re just days away from what promises to be a blockbuster UFC 264 pay-per-view, but there was plenty of excitement this past weekend even without any major MMA events.

Fighters and MMA personalities from all across the world celebrated July 4 Independence Day weekend with friends, family, and in the case of Conor McGregor, what looked to be a legion of fans excited to see the former two-division champion back on U.S. soil.

McGregor, who is currently in Las Vegas as he prepares to fight rival Dustin Poirier in a headlining trilogy bout on Saturday, was just one of many foreign fighters who let their love for America be known.
