Conor McGregor never seems to be away from the news. This time his beef with PJ Gallagher is making rounds. One may think that a fighter and a comedian may have no business with each other, but to everyone’s surprise, the Irish compatriots are proving them wrong. Even ex-soccer players are getting involved as the beef drags on. Recently, PJ Gallagher received some online support from Paul McGrath. The ex-soccer player had some encouraging words for Gallagher, followed by a piece of advice for ‘The Notorious’. However, McGregor has always considered himself to be a proud Irishman and will continue to do so.

McGregor and Gallagher’s beef has taken another turn as McGregor receives online support from Alex Crosbie. According to his Twitter Bio, Alex Crosbie is “Exposing Targeting Crimes in Ireland.”
