Conor McGregor
High flash Irish fighter Conor McGregor has been making a name for himself both with his fists and his mouth lately, with his winning streak and shameless self-promotional streak propelling him to a title shot versus UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo on July 11.

Sarah spoke to King Daniel about the song for Fightland.
