Tyson Fury's sensational win over Deontay Wilder last month was right down Conor McGregor's lane.
Of course he was watching - with his Proper no twelve whiskey one of the key sponsors of the bout - the brand was printed across the canvas.
And the showdown was a big hit with the Dubliner, who heaped praise on Fury, noting his Irish connections after his TKO victory at Las Vegas.
"Fury vs. Wilder II was my kind of fight," McGregor told Bleacher Report.
"A proper fight between two beasts who talk a good game and throw heavy punches, so I was proud to have Proper No. Twelve front and center during that bout as the title brand.
"If you want to take part, you shy away from big thinking, if you want to take over you make calculated decisions, and in this case, the fight was a blockbuster, and Proper was clearly one of the winners that night right next to Tyson.
"Tyson Fury is special. He’s got Irish in his blood. I sent both fighters a bottle of my Proper whiskey and they both deserved a Proper shot or two after that bout. I deeply respect these fighters! What a show!"
And McGregor has opened up on his Irish roots and why he'll always remember his Dublin 12 upbringing.
After making countless millions and enjoying all the glory of being one of the most famous sports stars in the world, the 31-year-old will never let go of Ireland.
The Crumlin native has spent most of his life in the humble Dublin 12 suburb, and even named his own brand of whiskey - Proper no Twelve - after the area.
And in an interview, McGregor accredits his Crumlin upbringing to giving him all the tools that lead to him becoming a UFC two-weight champ and why he'll raise his children and die in the Emerald Isle.
"Dublin 12 is a place very dear to my heart," McGregor told Bleacher Report. "Dublin 12 being a postal district of the Irish capital".
He added: "It’s where I learned how to fight, where I learned to do everything. Growing up there taught me the values of loyalty and brotherhood - that 'One For All' life. It made me who I am. It's a place I am still very much a part of every single day of my life.
"I love Ireland, its land and its people. I was born here, I will raise my children here, and I will die here. I wanted to make an Irish whiskey brand emblematic of our culture as a whole, something that would make my people proud."
