Beast Of The Year

                           As you know, 2015 has been a great year of sport, with some big matches and tournaments taking place with lots of dramatic endings. I decided with my sister, the Deputy Beast of Sport, to make a list of nominees. This list is not in order.

Jack Butland: Football

Andy Murray: Tennis

Conor McGregor: UFC

Dan Carter: Rugby

Todd Frazier: Baseball

Tom Brady: American Football

Hope Solo: Football.

I thought hard about this list. But I knew that I could only pick one of these awesome athletes. I realised that not only did the person I picked have a good year, but he really has had an amazing career up to this point. Not that the other athletes haven’t. My Beast of the Year is Conor McGregor because he has essentially conquered the UFC. He beat Chad Mendes to win the UFC championship and then he more than backed up his trash talk by beating Aldo to win the UFC championship in 13 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!! A world record. He also made the UFC lots more popular not only in Ireland but the world. He is really entertaining and seems to be able call his fights before they happen. He hasn’t lost in his professional UFC career. So for all these reasons and more Conor McGregor is my Beast  of the Year.
