Big night for Kildare musician Mick Konstantin as he performs at McGregor weigh-in

It was only five days ago that Mick Konstantin was helping his Celbridge clubmates to a victory in the Joe Mallon SFC over reigning champions Sarsfields, but the former Kildare U21 defender is worlds away in Las Vegas at the minute.

Konstantin has been in the headlines over the last couple of weeks since he released a single, titled 'There's Only One Conor McGregor', with the song going viral from his facebook page and shooting him towards near-instant fame.

Since then he has appeared on numerous Irish television and radio shows to perform the jingle, and when Conor McGregor eventually heard it he decided to fly the Celbridge man out to Vegas for the big fight against Floyd Mayweather. McGregor, who has invited Konstantin to his post-fight party, was even shown driving around Vegas listening to the song in the latest episode of Embedded.

Konstantin, who would have had to miss Celbridge senior training last night, flew out to the US yesterday morning for the fight, and the UFC soon announced that he would be performing at the weigh-ins tonight at the T Mobile Arena.

We're sure Trevor O'Sullivan and his management team up in Celbridge can forgive their absent corner-back for a couple of training sessions.
