Jedward want Conor McGregor to teach them how to fight

We’re fairly certain that Conor McGregor isn’t short of a few sparring partners ahead of his fight against Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 197 but if he ever needs someone to smack, Jedward might be available.

There’s a perfectly legitimate reason why the brothers might need some help from The Notorious, however.

John and Edward were recently travelling from Gothenburg to London but their journey was spoiled by an unscrupulous gang that started to pull their hair during the flight.

Speaking with The Sun, Edward says “John had his hair pulled. It felt like being back in school with a bunch of bullies. It got so heated the air hostess had to announce that the police would be waiting when the plane touched down if the row didn’t stop.”

“One of our fans managed to force the gang out of the seats they took beside us, but it was a very frightening situation.”

The twins seem like they’re really under pressure right now but they think that a little help from the UFC featherweight champion can help them. It’s not like McGregor is busy or anything.

“Conor is somebody who could help. Go on the Irish. We’re going to give him a call.”
