The fight UFC fans have been waiting for finally will take place this Saturday, when Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo vie for the unified featherweight title at UFC 194 in Las Vegas.
The always outspoken McGregor has been doing plenty of trash talking ahead of the big fight, but he changed tunes a bit Tuesday when he asked fellow Irishmen U2 for support.
It'll be a 'Beautiful Day' Saturday when I unify my belt for Ireland. Will my fellow countrymen @U2 be watching #UFC194? #U2ieTour #U2onHBO

Sure enough, the band sent McGregor well wishes with a tweet in Gaelic.
.@TheNotoriousMMA Beidh rÃrá agus ruaille buaille de satharn san Las Vegas! Éirà Conor
Éirà ! @TheNotoriousMMA— U2 (@U2) December 8, 2015
We gave Google Translator a try and got this for a translation:
“Excitement and caused a furor will of Saturday in Las Vegas! Feb. Conor Mar.”
Whatever the exact meaning, it appears McGregor has U2’s support.
