Conor McGregor is a big Notre Dame fan on Saturday.
Because Notre Dame came over to play Navy in Ireland, which is McGregor’s home country, he’s rooting for the program to win.
“The University of Notre Dame came across the sea to put on a show in Ireland. Show Navy what Fighting Irish means! Go Irish!” McGregor tweeted.

McGregor is a happy camper based on what he has seen so far.
The Fighting Irish are crushing the Midshipmen 42-0 and there are still over seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. They were up 28-0 heading into the second half thanks to quarterback Sam Hartman.
Hartman was 14-of-17 for 198 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. It’s his first game at Notre Dame after transferring from Wake Forest.
Right now, he’s thrown for over 250 yards and four touchdowns.
