It took me more than a few minutes to figure out what the Irish equivalent to 'Don't be scared, homie' would be, and although I had a few options, 'mucker' seemed to be the closest thing Ireland has to 'homie.' The explanation I saw behind the etymology behind mucker was that a mucker is someone you muck around with. A friend, a pal, a... Homie. So that's what I've learned today, hopefully you guys got something out of that too. Call somebody a mucker today and give them a hug. But only if they are your mucker and I'm actually correct that mucker is slang for friend. Yeah.

If the Diaz bros had an Irish brother who was 12-2 with every single one of his wins coming via a stoppage and featured a touch of capoeira in his game for spice, it would be Cage Warrior lightweight champion Conor McGregor. This dude has it. Watch his latest win from this last weekend.

A load of us went to this and god DAMN Mc Gregor is a beast. As a side-note he's now the featherweight champ as well and as a side side note, did you see your mans foot get snapped??
Holy shit!

And nobody says Mucker. Anyone who says mucker is a culchie, otherwise known as muck savage, otherwise known as the scum of the earth. I could only relate them to the hippies of San Francisco.

Back to Haight Ashbury with ya!

It's a Scottish name but he is 100% Irish. So your comment is not just racist it's incorrect.

Does this have anything remotely to do with a Diaz? I don't see how the Diaz brothers deserved a mention here. Retarded Jason....

McGregor is an awsome fighter, it's true. But he is in a lucky position, he's got sponsors etc.
The majority MMA fighters in Europe has to have a daily job, or 2, to feed their families. Buchinger, McGregors opponent is a night shift worker. He has worked hard for this title shot...

Conor doesn't make jack shit right now and no one works harder than him in the gym. Guy is a future challenger for UFC gold like his team mate Gunnar Nelson

as conor's coach i can tell you he has NO sponsors, at least none affording him to train full time. he just works his ass off while the rest make excuses.
any potential sponsors out there sbgireland@gmail.com thanks :)

I can safely say I've never heard "mucker" used in Irish vernacular. Sounds Australian.
