Make room, people… There’s a new bromance blossoming before our eyes.
Facebook statuses, Twitter timelines, pub conversations and sporting news has been dominated by The Notorious ConorMcGregor since his incredible win on Sunday morning.
In case you’ve been living user The Rock a rock for the last few days, the Dubliner managed to knock-out opponent Jose Aldo in a swift 13-seconds to become the UFC Featherweight Champion of the World. When you say it out loud it does sound pretty impressive.
In a touching show of sportsmanship, the new champion shared an inspiring post to his Instagram account hours after the fight. He thanked his fans, friends and family, who have been his rock throughout the years.
Dwayne Johnson, a.k.a. The Rock, regrammed the post commending McGregor on his win and show of respect.
“One of the classiest messages and show of respect for his opponent I’ve seen from a champion. Congrats @thenotoriousmma. You’re on your way to becoming an icon. #Respect”, he wrote.
We look forward to the inevitable McGregor-Rock selfie.
