Conor McGregor loves slap-fighter "hit so hard she turned into Robbie Keane"

Conor McGregor was amused by a joke about slap-fighter Kortney Olson looking like retired footballer Robbie Keane after being hit in the debut episode of Power Slap.

The legendary Irish fighter appears to be a fan of UFC boss Dana White's controversial Power Slap league, which had its delayed television debut in America on Wednesday night. And he got in on the joke when a fan on Twitter claimed that a fighter had inadvertently copied Irish footballer Robbie Keane's famous somersault celebration after being viciously knocked out.

Olson was facing Sheena Bathory when she received a first round shot so powerful that she immediately slumped to the ground unconscious. As she attempted to get back up, she overbalanced and ended up rolling forward, in a way that was a little less graceful than Keane used to back when he was scoring Premier League goals.
