Conor McGregor is once again in the headlines for misbehavior outside of the cage and fans are sick of it.
The former two-division UFC champion’s latest embarrassing incident involves him reportedly striking someone and knocking them down at a nightclub in Ibiza. Footage of the incident immediately went viral, leaving much of the MMA community rolling their eyes at how far McGregor has fallen from his fighting prime when he was among the most famous athletes in the world.
“Absolute trainwreck,” “menace to society,” and “insecure sociopath” are just some of the words used by MMA Fighting commenters to describe McGregor’s current state. It’s hard to argue with those viewpoints given the 37-year-old’s many public embarrassments. Recently, McGregor was found liable in a civil suit for sexual assault for a 2019 incident in his native Dublin, and is currently facing another civil suit for sexual assault over an alleged incident in Miami in 2023.
His nightclub fracas isn’t even his first on-camera scuffle as he was memorably caught striking an elderly man at a Dublin pub in 2019.
McGregor, who once held UFC titles at 155 pounds and 145 pounds, has not fought since breaking his leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021, and there are serious doubts as to whether fans will ever see him step foot in the octagon again.
