UFC star Conor McGregor is arguably one of the most talked about athletes in the world of sports. The 34-year-old Irishman, who has featured in some of the UFC‘s most memorable moments, has built an empire outside of the Octagon. This has resulted in interesting rants on his social media platforms, with him either calling out other UFC fighters or boasting about his lavish lifestyle. McGregor’s father seems to have taken a page out of his son’s book.

The Irishman’s father, Tony McGregor, recently posted a rant of his own on the internet. He stated, “I was none too plussed with my experience on the D.A.R.T.”
