The fighters have arrived in Dublin ahead of Saturday's UFC event at the O2 and the promoters were keen to give them an early glimpse of the local culture. The best way to do it? Get a hurl in their hands and test out their skills. To be honest, we didn't really think that bouncing a ball on a stick was a uniquely Irish skill but it appears it might be.
First up to try the 'hurling keepy-up challenge' was American Zak Cummings who, to be fair, wasn't terrible.
Middleweight Trevor Smith was the next to give it a go.
Conor McGregor will be hoping that Diego Brandao's performance in the Octagon matches his hurling skill. Woeful.
Ian McCall was going well until he made the mortal sin of crossing over to hockey.
England's Brad Pickett proves that Sky's GAA coverage might be having a slight effect across the water. Still can't see him giving up the day job though.
Antrim man Norman Parke, was declared the winner, after this stellar showing.
