For two of his three UFC fights so far, Paddy Holohan has fought alongside his Irish countryman Conor McGregor. As McGregor gets set to fight in the biggest bout of his career at UFC 189 this Saturday – an interim title fight against Chad Mendes -- Holohan is finishing up his training. He has a bout scheduled against Vaughan Lee at UFC Fight Night 72 in Glasgow, Scotland, the following week, on July 18.
Not that "The Hooligan" is suffering any kind of separation anxiety. Holohan was a guest on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, and he said that it might be a sign of the times that Irish fighters are spreading and appearing all over the globe.
