Twitter reacts to Conor McGregor's title-winning knockout of Chad Mendes at UFC 189

Here we go … special lighting effects on the canvas with Sinead O'Connor coming out of a riser by the tunnel for live walkout music

Hype surrounding #UFC189 was never about the FIGHT. Was about the FIGHTER. His opponent is irrelevant. Also known as the Chael Sonnen effect

Sinead giving me goosebumps, y’all.

Even the Irish singers aren't good at what they do!

Mendes 10-9. Looking great but just wish he had more time to prepare for this fight

Chad looks a little tired, should win this rnd but man 5 rnds on 17 days training is really tough

Let the parties begin in Ireland

Give Chad an immediate rematch, he didn't get out skilled. He fought a guy who was in a 3 month camp and he stepped up on 2 weeks notice.

— Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) July 12, 2015

Mendes beats his ass on a full training camp.

— Marcelino Evil (@KCBanditMMA) July 12, 2015

What a crazy ass storyline for C-Mac! Chad did what he could on 2 weeks notice. Hats off to both men! Great fight! Awesome event! #UFC189
