McGregor's Cage Walk: Irish Rebel Song Meets Hip-Hop Beat
12 Jul
Summary
- McGregor uses a two-song mashup for his walkout.
- 'The Foggy Dew' references the 1916 Easter Rising rebellion.
- He famously walked out to this song at UFC 189 in 2015.
Conor McGregor's walkout to the MMA octagon is accompanied by a distinctive two-song medley. The entrance begins with the evocative strains of "The Foggy Dew," a powerful Irish ballad by Sinead O'Connor and The Chieftains. This song delves into the historical context of the 1916 Easter Rising, a pivotal moment in Irish nationalism.
As McGregor approaches the cage, the atmosphere shifts dramatically with the introduction of "Hypnotize" by The Notorious B.I.G. This juxtaposition of a historical rebel song and a classic hip-hop track creates a unique and impactful pre-fight ritual. McGregor's walkout has been a memorable sight, notably at UFC 189 in July 2015.
