Rowdy Irish fans of Conor McGregor shut down this Las Vegas street before Jose Aldo fight (Video)

They know how to throw a party!

They’re keeping their spirits up ahead of the big night anyway.

The UFC’s official Instagram posted a video in the early hours of this morning, which shows some enthusiastic Conor McGregor fans dancing… in the middle of a Las Vegas road.

The video went live yesterday evening local time, and was most likely filmed after the weigh-in for tonight’s UFC 194 main event – the featherweight unification bout between McGregor and Jose Aldo.

The weigh-in was preceded by a Holly Holm Q&A, which featured lots of enthusiastic Irish fans – some of whom serenaded the new UFC women’s bantamweight champion.

Then the party appeared to spill out onto the streets with chants of ‘lets go f**king mental’.

Then they stormed a Las Vegas road and decided to stay there and have a party.

And proceeded to rip the p*ss out of one poor police officer with a whistle trying to stem the Irish tide of mayhem and merriment.
