Female UFC fighter 'beat up' Conor McGregor before 'Notorious' had a clue about MMA

And he wasn't the only one...

"It's been a really great experience to see those guys coming in, you know not really having a clue about MMA and being able to beat them up I guess was one of the things at the beginning because I have been here so long so technically even when they had start. It's nice to see how they have all grown and progressed. I'm delighted for them on how well they are doing. Conor has been such a big thing for the sport in general in the country, like he's done so much for me just by being himself. The sport wouldn't be doing half as well in the country as it is without him."

Top Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) strawweight Aisling Daly (via Independent.ie) is back inside the Octagon this Wednesday night (Nov. 26, 2014) as she battles Jessica Penne for a spot in the The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 20 semifinals. As we saw in the waning seconds of episode nine (recap), featherweight phenom Conor McGregor stops by the TUF house to help motivate his Irish teammate -- the same one who used to "beat him up" -- alongside Cathal Pendred, back when "Notorious" was still wet behind the ears. My, how times have changed.
