Conor McGregor may have found the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl who has taken over the internet in recent days.
After tweeting on X that he wanted to find the girl in question, McGregor has now followed an account belonging to ‘Haliey Welch’ which is private but has 34,000 followers.
Welch’s bio says he is in Tennessee and that his moment of fame came from an interview on the streets of Nashville.
In the now viral clip, the girl gave a graphic description of her sexual exploits, imitating spitting and the noise she makes, phonetically written as “hawk tuah”, and the images have flooded social media.
McGregor posted, then deleted, on X: ‘Have we located Hawk Tuah yet?’

McGregor now follows the story that many believe belongs to the girl in question
Many other fans on social media have claimed that Welch is the girl in question, and some have even shared photos from her alleged account before it went private.
But McGregor has been accepted as a fan, and Welch is one of the 2,507 people the MMA star follows on his Instagram account.
McGregor is engaged to his long-term partner, Dee Devlin, and they have four children together.
However, he is not the only sports star to reference the viral meme in recent days.
On Monday, Olivia Dunne responded to a fan who posted the viral meme under her vacation photos with boyfriend Paul Skenes.
‘Leave Miss Tuah out of this,’ the gymnast wrote in response to the mischievous comment.
A golf fan was also recorded yelling ‘hawk tuah’ when Bryson DeChambeau hit a shot in the second round of the recent LIV Golf event in Nashville.
Welch also began selling products after going viral for the June 19 interview.
Since becoming an Internet sensation, Welch is working with Tennessee-based hat company Fathead Threads to sell her own line of hats.
Welch sells two different types of hats with the phrase written on them, one with a leather patch and another with embroidery.
She has partnered with Tennessee-based Fathead Threads to sell her own line of hats.
‘I was authorized to sell these hats after a conversation with Hailey. She will receive a portion of the proceeds from the sales,” Jason Poteete of Fathead Threads shared on Facebook.
The company posted a photo of Welch autographing two different types of hats, one with a leather patch and another embroidered, which are available for purchase.
Embroidered, unsigned ‘Hawk Tuah’ caps are $32.70, while signed caps are on sale for $43.70.
Hats with the leather ‘Hawk Tuah’ patch and an autograph are $50 and unsigned versions are $40.
Chelsea Bradford, the proud friend standing next to Welch in the video, shared the line of merch on Facebook. “Finally someone gives my girl an assignment,” she wrote.
