Ex-UFC Star Paige Vanzant Says Visiting Conor McGregor’s Bar Is “Number 1” on Her List as She Lands in Ireland
Paige VanZant recently revealed her aspiration to visit Irish MMA sensation, Conor McGregor’s bar during a family trip to Ireland.
The former UFC strawweight and flyweight fighter is one of the most popular MMA entities in the community. She has over 3 million followers on her Instagram handle and still enjoys the limelight as a content creator.
During a recent Question and Answer session on Instagram stories on her way to the airport to board a flight to Ireland, VanZant stated the #1 thing on her to-do list in Mystic Mac’s home country.
“That is like no.1 on our list of things to do in Ireland. I know his dad, his step-dad, and my dad are all extremely excited to go to Conor McGregor’s bar,” VanZant said.

The 27-year-old parted way with the UFC back in 2020. Although she had a good start at the promotion with three consecutive wins, she concluded her journey with a 1-3 record in her last four outings.
After UFC, the Oregon-native signed with the Bare Knuckle FC. But she hasn’t been able to find success there as she lost consecutive fights against Britain Hart and another former UFC talent, Rachael Ostovich.
After two summers at Bare Knuckle FC, she has tried her hands at professional wrestling.

This brawl between both of the fighters resulted in the entire AEW female roster rushing into the ring to break up the fight between them.
