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.

Conor McGregor receives online support against PJ Gallagher

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.”

Conor McGregor saw the ‘attack’ by PJ Gallagher against his nationality when Laura Sanko mistakenly identified the Irishman as an active UK fighter.

Alex Crosbie tweeted partially supporting McGregor, “Not defending @TheNotoriousMMA comments, but it seems to have been lost that @pjgallagher had a go at McGregor first, basically saying he was rejected by the Irish nation, questioning his nationality /allegiances etc. Surprised that there was a response?”

‘Mystic Mac’ responded to this tweet bringing in a patriotic angle to it. The proud ‘Irishman’ tweeted, “One of the heaviest insults you can give an Irish man. He is a weasel. Thank you Alex for highlighting.” McGregor brought his humorous self to the internet by name-calling the Irish comedian.
