he's probably the biggest Irish celebrity right now in Ireland. it helps that he's from Dublin. MMA is booming right now and it's all due to him to be fair
a lot of people hate him/dislike him though, and it's the same when i read the UFC blog comments and youtube comments. you either hate him or you love him
i'm a fan but i don't like how he's changed his accent and made it sort of Americanised. you don't have to do that when you're from Dublin. Colin Farrel for example. it's not like a Cork accent where Americans wouldn't understand
but yeah the accent thing is a major annoyance for a lot of the Irish public. something you guys wouldn't even notice, lol
