UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor won’t be given a homecoming for his recent title win.
It’s been reported that the MMA fighter won’t be given a welcoming fit for a champ – after Dublin City Council admitted there are “no plans” in place.
“There are no plans in place for a reception,” a spokesperson told the Sun.

The Crumlin native made UFC history when he defeated Brazilian Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds and recently insisted he couldn’t wait to fly back to Ireland for Christmas.
Although the sport star’s legion of fans are looking forward to him coming home, council chiefs are yet to organise anything for the 27-year-old fighter.
However, the council previously organised a home coming for Ireland’s Grand Slam winning rugby team outside the Mansion House in Dublin in.
While thousands welcomed home Kenny Egan, Darren Sutherland and Paddy Barnes following their Olympic medal wins in Beijing.
