"Oh blood splatter, from the Octagon" - Conor McGregor writes and dedicates a poem to Irish poet W.B.Yeats, the sport of violence, and his pub The Black Forge Inn
Conor McGregor has proven that he can use his silver tongue for more than just talking trash to his opponents. He displayed a much-refined side of his personality by posting a poem that he apparently composed.
The former UFC two-division champion showcased his penchant for poetry by writing a few stanzas about his life and career. McGregor took to Twitter to share the literary piece. The poem reads:
"Oh blood splatter, we meet again
Never mine, never will
Always yours, Always spill
Jaw gone, jog on
For Maude is not gone
She is at the Black Forge Her favorite song
Oh blood splatter, from the Octagon"
Oh blood splatter, we meet again
Never mine, never will
Always yours, Always spill
Jaw gone, jog on
For Maude is not gone
She is at the Black Forge Her favorite song

Giving life to the words he wrote, McGregor also elegantly recited his own stanzas. The UFC star then revealed that the poem is "an ode" to Irish poet W.B. Yeates and "his old flame Maude Gonne," McGregor's "lifetime of violent competition," and the Irishman's pub, The Black Forge Inn. Finally, 'Notorious' signed the piece as W.B. Yachts – an apparent play on W.B. Yeates' pen name owing to his love for yachts.
An ode to W.B Yeates and his old flame Maude Gonne. My lifetime of violent competition. And my Pub The Black Forge Inn. Enjoy ❤️
McGregor, of course, has always had a way with words. His rise to superstardom can largely be attributed to his exciting fighting style as well as his memorable quotes and one-liners.
What's next for Conor McGregor?
Conor McGregor has resumed training as he prepares for his eventual return to the octagon. The Irishman just recently recovered from the horrific injury he sustained in the main event of UFC 264.
While an official announcement for McGregor's UFC comeback hasn't been made yet, it's speculated that he is eyeing a 2022 return. Several names have been thrown around as McGregor's potential opponents in recent months.
@MikeChandlerMMA I’m down at some stage for sure. Great fight the other night Mike, congrats!
McGregor recently interacted with former Bellator lightweight champ Michael Chandler, indicating a potential matchup between the two. The development came after McGregor congratulated Chandler for putting on an entertaining show at UFC 268.
Nate Diaz's name has also come up multiple times as he's 1-1 with McGregor. However, the Stockton-based fighter has only one fight left in his current deal and is reportedly planning to leave the UFC soon.
