MMA fans meme'd Conor McGregor to death after first TUF 31 win
By Amy Kaplan
It only took eight episodes before someone on Conor McGregor's team finally won a fight. It was looking to be a complete shut out by team Michael Chandler, but Rico DiSciullo stepped up and earned a KO to advance.
The moments after the win quickly sent MMA Twitter into a tail spin of meme's and tweets poking fun at the image of McGregor running akwardly around the Octagon.
At first, fans assumed it would be a clean sweep.

With the clean sweep stopped, it gave McGregor the extra pep in his step he so badly needed. And that run sent Twitter into a tailspin of good humor.
