The Irish fighter reportedly grew a close friendship with the singer throughout his career.
O’Connor, who is most widely known for her 1990 single ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ that went No. 1 around the world, sang during McGregor’s walkout at UFC 189 in Las Vegas in July 2015.“The world has lost a beautiful voice and an even more beautiful person,” McGregor said,
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad,” the statement read. “Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.” While performing on Saturday Night Live in 1992, O’Connor tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II to protest against sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. She was banned from NBC for life.
