Conor McGregor Wants To Know If The ‘Hawk Tuah’ Girl Has Been Located (She Has)

The ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl is the most viral internet phenomenon of 2024 thus far, and it looks like the girl behind it has even piqued Conor McGregor’s interest (I wonder why?).

For the uninitiated, here’s the Hawk Tuah clip that’s gone mega viral:

And Conor McGregor trying to get in on the action (or maybe just curious like the rest of us):

Well, if Conor McGregor had been paying attention, he would know that we located and identified the Hawk Tuah girl yesterday. Her name is Hailey Welch, she’s from Nashville, and she’s already selling merchandise with her catchphrase on it:

Living the American dream – 2024 style. Go instantly and unexpectedly viral over a drunken interview that might have been completely humiliating, and turn it into a million-dollar business within a week. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!

A lot of the talk is about how Hailey Welch’s parents feel about their daughter being known as the Hawk Tuah girl, but I’ve got a feeling they might ease up once they realise how much their daughter will be cashing in off the back of this.

Meanwhile, Conor McGregor was out in Dublin for Bellator this pask weekend, and provided an update on the gruesome pinky toe injury that resulted in his big UFC 303 comeback fight against Michael Chandler being cancelled:

For anyone who reckons Conor McGregor is a p*ssy and fraud for pulling out of the fight over a broken pinky toe, here’s an orthopedic surgeon’s view on the situation:

Well anyway, hopefully Conor McGregor is still in fight mode and training hard for whenever his comeback is rescheduled, and doesn’t let dumb memes like the Hawk Tuah girl distract him from his preparations…
