Cuchulain serves to act as Ireland's 'Hercules' or 'Achilles' he is a representation of the perfect warrior and one trait that was and still is very prominent among the Irish is a stubborn sensibility and a refusal to back down regardless (the Northern Irish problems are a precise example).

The episode with Connla is created to signify Cuchulain's brutal stubborn nature. It is a common theme throughout Ultonian mythology that Cuchulain will never turn down a fight (except in the instance with Fergus' whereby master and pupil make an agreement).
