UFC’s Conor McGregor rallies NHL team, leads St. Patrick’s Day parades

Former two-division UFC champ Conor McGregor may have not fought in a while, but he’s never really out of the news cycle. Whether it’s getting arrested in Miami, or offering support to fellow elite lightweight Tony Ferguson, or whatever else, The Notorious One is a pro at being the center of attention.

And this weekend, he took his act to Chicago and Boston.

First, he showed up as a guest of honor at The Windy City’s St Patrick’s Day parade. Then it was off to the east coast.

McGregor was front and center at a Boston Bruins game on Saturday night, going into the dressing room to give a motivational speech to the players, and then dropping the puck for the ceremonial face-off.
