UFC officials on Wednesday announced their intention to hold another card in Dublin, Ireland.
And guess what? Conor McGregor is hoping to be the headliner.
The initial news came from UFC officials Wednesday afternoon (h/t Tristan Critchfield of Sherdog). According to the report, the event would take place October 24 at the 3Arena in Dublin.
Thanks in large part to McGregor's explosion in popularity in Ireland and around the world, MMA has taken off in a big way lately on the Emerald Isle. In July 2014, the UFC staged a fight card in Ireland for the first time in five years.
