Conor McGregor's patriotic message to fans on St. Patrick's Day

The opening Thursday of the NCAA tournament just happens to fall on St. Patrick's Day in 2016, making for one of the least productive work days of the year. UFC superstar Conor McGregor celebrated the occasion with a message for his Irish fans.

Happy Paddy's day everyone!! Wear them colours with pride!!! #IrishBlood pic.twitter.com/o16QbN0m7n

Comments to the photo from Nate Diaz fans and McGregor haters are (still) brutal, but McGregor's girlfriend Dee Devlin shared this joyous photo of the featherweight champion, and he couldn't look happier.
