Lynch recently earned McGregor’s respect thanks to her stunning WWE success in the last few months. And The Notorious once again expressed his admiration towards The Man by sending her two bottles of his Proper Twelve whiskey ahead of the holidays. The Irish Lass Kicker was very pleased with the gift and took to Instagram where she posed with the drinks and thanked the UFC legend. Lynch wrote: “Christmas off to a proper start. Thanks @thenotoriousmma @properwhiskey.”


The Limerick-born megastar has also earned high praise from McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh who prepared her for a potential WrestleMania 35 clash with Ronda Rousey. Kavanagh taught the two-time women’s champion how to defend herself from Rousey’s devastating Armbar finisher and also showed her some counter throws. Show Player Lynch has been embroiled in a heated rivalry with the UFC Hall of Famer since last October after WWE’s first ever all-women’s Pay-Per-View event Evolution. The two WWE megastars were set to battle at Survivor Series but the match was cancelled after the Irish grappler suffered a broken nose and a concussion at the hands of Nia Jax.

She was ultimately replaced by Charlotte Flair who got disqualified during the bout after brutalising the MMA hero with a kendo stick and a steel chair. However, rumours suggest the two popular wrestlers will battle at WrestleMania on April 7 at the MetLife Stadium in New York. Lynch recently lost the SmackDown Women’s Championship to Asuka at TLC following a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match, which also included Charlotte.
