Conor McGregor has taken notice of a fan who performed a tribute song on the ukulele, and is flying him out to the fighter’s bout with Floyd Mayweather. McGregor told Ariel Helwani in a new interview that he took notice of Irishman Mick Konstantin after the latter posted a Facebook video of the song and was impressed.

In the song, which you can see below, Konstantin performed on the ukulele and sang about McGregor’s journey as a fighter all the way up to the heights of the Mayweather bout. McGregor told Helwani, “It was one hell of a song. It’s a very catchy song. We actually reached out to the guy. I had my people reach out to the guy, and we’re booking him a flight – him plus one. I’m going to bring him over to the fight and get him tickets and put him up in a hotel, and I’ll meet him after the fight. It’s one hell of a song.”

McGregor will face Mayweather on August 26th in a boxing match in Las Vegas. The fight airs on PPV.
