Video: Conor McGregor visits Irish boxing star Katie Taylor before her title defense in Boston

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor is by no means the only Irish combat sports star.

Saturday night at the TD Garden in Boston, MA saw women’s boxing phenom Katie Taylor (11-0, 5 KOs) defend her WBA and IBF lightweight titles against Cindy Serrano (27-6-3, 10 KOs). The 2012 Olympic gold medalist was bumped to co-main event status, and there were thousands of fans who showed up to support her. Among them? Conor McGregor, of course.

In the video below, you can see McGregor visiting Taylor in her locker room to meet with her prior to the fight and wish her the best.
