In the valley of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

UFC bantamweight Urijah Faber recently discussed featherweight contender Conor McGregor, on Team Alpha Male Radio. Faber fired off a trash talk shotgun, blasting an entire nation, or at least the male half of it.

He’s got a whole nation of people that have nothing else to cheer for,” said Faber as transcribed by Ger Keville for Independent.ie.

I think it’s fun, this sport needs guys like Conor. Conor’s not just a talker he’s a great fighter. He’s a guy that backs up what he says and he’s making headlines.

Especially for Ireland, I’ve seen some hot Irish women but all the dudes over there are pretty mangled looking.

The ability to not have a face full of freckles and red hair steps his game up tremendously in Ireland. They’ve got a hero and he’s good.

If Conor beat Jose Aldo, Faber expressed an interest in the fight. It’s an interesting fight.
