Conor McGregor may miss UFC 303 with a wrist injury, but he isn’t out of the spotlight yet. After resting and recuperating, McGregor has kept himself busy by keeping up with the latest internet trends. The “Hawk Tuah” girl went viral recently, and McGregor seems to have taken a particular interest in her. Known for his squealing laughter, the internet story has caused a stir among many, including Joe Rogan.
Not only did McGregor doubt him but he was able to find and follow him on social media. This has fans laughing at his injury drama. Hailey Welch received an endorsement from ‘The Notorious’, and fans were quick to pick up on it. Earlier, McGregor had expressed his curiosity to see himself on X, asking, “Have we seen ‘Hawk Tuah’ yet?” Though he deleted the tweet, fans didn’t miss his latest antics.
Joe Rogan Gets Involved
Joe Rogan also talked about the viral sensation on his podcast. He figured Welch would cash in on his newfound fame, capitalizing on the trend and praising it. Rogan’s comments fueled buzz about the “Hawk Tuah” girl and McGregor’s interest in her.
Fans React to McGregor’s Antics
Fans found irony in McGregor’s detective skills and desire to go after Welch. Within days, his identity was discovered, and merchandise featuring his intercepts from an interview on the streets in Nashville began selling online. McGregor’s actions have caused a strong reaction from the fans.
One fan joked about McGregor’s history with Dustin Poyear’s wife, saying, “He wants her in his DMs.” Another noted Welch’s rapid fan growth, saying, “So now she has over 32 thousand followers, that’s wild.” McGregor’s involvement has clearly generated a lot of popularity.
The Viral Era
Welch’s viral moment came during a street interview in which he replied to the rest, “You guys give him that hawk tuah and spit that thang out”. This line took off, turned into a meme and caught McGregor’s attention. Meanwhile, fans are reacting to McGregor’s excitement with a mixture of amusement and skepticism.
Community Divisions
While some fans laugh at McGregor’s antics, others are more critical. “Bro needs something distracting until his pinky toe is completely healed,” said one fan, while another added, “I’m not surprised.” Some criticized McGregor, with one user saying, “Dude has a whole wife and kids…Karma should get his ass, look he’ll get knocked out by Chandler.” However, not all of them were pessimistic. One supporter said, “I follow him too! Beautiful funny gal!” “He is ready to risk everything,” said another.
McGregor’s Recovery and Internet Entertainment
As McGregor recovers from his injury, he seems to be enjoying some lighter time online. His involvement in viral trends and online identities shows a different side to the fighter, one that fans will find interesting and relatable.
