UFC 189 Embdeed World Tour Vlog 10
It started in Rio and it ends in Dublin in Episode 10 of UFC 189 World Championship Tour Embedded.

Holding it aloft over his head while screaming that he is the king of Dublin and “what are you gonna do …” Aldo seems powerless in a setting that was created for McGregor to shine. Shine on you crazy diamond Conor at UFC 189 …
