Conor McGregor may not be having a good year. In the latest season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ his team lost all matches, except one against team Michael Chandler. He has gotten into legal trouble and has been accused of PED usage by fans and fighters. His comeback bout against Chandler, originally slated for December, also seems to be in serious doubt. Not to mention him recently hitting on the rapper Saweetie as his wife is pregnant with their fourth child. Often on the receiving end of bashing from fans and pros alike, for the aforementioned reasons, McGregor won hearts on the internet with a recent social media post.
