Everyone who follows any combat sport at least knows of the name ‘Conor McGregor’, and there is no doubt that he is one of the most famous, entertaining, and skillful fighters the UFC has ever seen enter the octagon.
Evidently, one of McGregor’s calling cards is fight promotion, and to do that, he needs a following. McGregor has been somewhat of an expert at playing into social media trends, which has gained him quite the following throughout his illustrious career, and it clearly hasn’t changed.
A clip recently went viral of a woman during an interview, whom many are calling Haliey Welch aka the ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ after the comments she made. When asked about her go-to moves in the bedroom, she replied, “You’ve gotta give him that hawk touch and spit on that thang.”
This caused guys around the world to fall in love with her, and it seems like the Notorious Conor McGregor is no different after he posted to X reference the now internet-famous woman, stating, ” Have we located hawk tuah yet?”

Conor McGregor Is Looking For ‘Hawk Tuah’ Girl
Unfortunately, the future MMA Hall of Famer deleted the tweet quickly thereafter, but it didn’t go unnoticed. One X account, Spinnin Backfist, posted a screenshot of the tweet and captioned it, “Connor about to fly her out.”
Some fans quickly defended the 22-6-0 fighter after the X post was reposted. One fan replied, “Can we blame him?” followed by an emoji in the eyes, while another added, “Only to teach Dee her tricks,” Dee being McGregor’s wife.
can we blame him? 👀

Some fans weren’t as happy as others, though, calling the UFC champ out for the supposed X post. One fan replied, “Grown ass man with a wife and kids,” while another replied, trying to point out that the UFC star is married.
