First mixed martial arts, then boxing. Is hockey next?
Former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor took in the sights and sounds of his first NHL game on Saturday, serving as the ceremonial puck dropper for the Boston Bruins’ home game against the Columbus Blue Jackets as part of the Bruins’ Irish Heritage Night ahead of Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities.
Check out McGregor hyping up the Boston crowd and dropping the puck below following his customary “Foggy Dew”/“Hypnotize” mash-up walkout.
McGregor also visited the home locker room prior to the game to give a pre-game speech to Bruins players, touting his past success in the TD Garden.
