IF previous entrances are anything to go by, Conor McGregor will be making quite the ring walk for his huge clash against Dustin Poirier.
The Notorious usually walks down to the ring to his late namesake who was from Brooklyn, but only after something more close to home.

What is the entrance song Conor McGregor uses, and who sings it?
Draped in the Irish flag McGregor usually walks down to The Foggy Dew, an Irish folk ballad.
Foggy Dew is powerful Irish war ballad with the lyrics describing the Easter Rising that took place in April 1916.
The version McGregor walks down to the ring to is the one Sinead O’Connor sang on the 1995 Chieftain’s album The Long Black Veil.
At UFC 189 in Las Vegas, O’Connor sang a live rendition of the song for McGregor’s entrance.
The song then mixes into Notorious B.I.G’s 1997 hit Hypnotize, from album Life After Death.
McGregor has also used 50 Cent’s I Get Money mixed into The Foggy Dew in the past too
When did McGregor first use the song?
McGregor first used the song in the UFC before his fight against Diego Brandao at UFC Fight Night in Dublin in July 2014.
In front of the joyous home support, McGregor recorded a first-round knockout in the bout.
