Starting Pitchers to Add from the Waiver Wire for April 6, 2013 by Zachary Thompson

Ireland’s top prospect Connor McGregor put on a show for the UFC fans in Stockholm, Sweden on Saturday afternoon with a beautiful display of striking against The Ultimate Fighter veteran Marcus Brimage.

McGregor has incredible standup and was able to pick apart Brimage from the start.

Brimage came out overly aggressive and immediately got in McGregor’s face. He was landing big shots but was unable to rock the Irish man. McGregor stayed patient and used his superior footwork and head movement to pick apart Brimage on way to a first-round knockout.

After the fight, McGregor had a plea for the Knockout of the Night bonus with a little message for UFC president Dana White.

“I thought he was emotionally attached to the contest,” McGregor said. “Dana, 60 G’s, baby!”

McGregor has all of the makings of a star. His top-level stand up and charisma in and out of the cage is sure to land him as a fan-favorite moving forward. If MMA fans weren’t aware of McGregor before, they sure are now.
