In all the confusion and chaos going on after the main event at UFC 229 a Dubliner by the name of David Martin, fearing for McGregor, jumped into the cage to help and check on his fellow countryman.
Oh my. Remember the story @dc_mma told on yesterday’s #HelwaniShow about the random fan who went in the cage to check on Conor after the melee? This is the guy! Watch this: pic.twitter.com/sArwhRrjW0

“I wouldn’t say adrenaline took over,” Martin said in an interview with For The Win. “I’d say patriotism took over first.
“I thought Russia was attacking Ireland. I thought a bunch of Russians were jumping in and this guy (McGregor) was tired and beaten down from the fight and was being attacked by what I thought were a bunch of Russian fans. I needed to step in. I was thinking my country was calling for me right now and I’m going in.”
