Mystic Mac strikes again as Conor McGregor rules in Las Vegas

The early hours of Sunday morning in Sin City were another reminder, if ever a fresh one were needed, that this is a town that will keep on keeping on. As men and women wrapped in Tricolours, and not yet thinking of the trek back across the Atlantic, traipsed through the MGM Grand high on Vegas and victory, those of us who had to settle for plain old sobriety couldn’t help but notice that the place was already progressing.

Here in the desert, the big thing is always the next thing. So it was, that on the huge digital poster boards listing what’s on in its preeminent mega casino’s Garden Arena, UFC194 was no longer highlighted.
