7. He Had The Largest Crowd Reaction At UFC 178 In Las Vegas
That's right: a mid-20s kid from Ireland, far from home in Las Vegas, got the biggest crowd response at UFC 178. Bigger than the debuting Eddie Alvarez. Bigger than Cowboy Cerrone. Bigger then flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson. Bigger than the returning former bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz. No, it was a kid from Ireland with four fights in the UFC to date. Not bad at all.
