The ‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor previously challenged the former Manchester United defender, Paul McGrath, and the Irish comedian, PJ Gallagher, to a two versus one fight. However, the fans did not appreciate Mystic Mac’s bold move. Moreover, the heat between McGregor and McGrath turned up a notch as the former UFC champion unleashed a barrage of now-deleted tweets. Furthermore, supposedly in his uncontrollable rage, the former double champ banned McGrath from his pubs. Without a doubt, fans unleashed their bashing at the mixed martial artist over the decision.

Although the ‘Notorious’ challenged McGrath and Gallagher for a charity match, their age was what became a negative factor in the public’s eyes. McGregor has received a boatload of backlash from the fans after he issued the challenge.

Fans bash Conor McGregor for banning Paul McGrath

The internet has been heated up with McGregor going on and off about McGrath. In a couple of deleted tweets, he wrote, “McGrath backed PJ, said I was a bully. Yet I was attacked first. He then said I need God. McGrath isn’t even allowed in pubs in the area where he lives. My area, Dublin 12. He is barred from The Gate Bar pub. It’s just hypocritical all round. Will be leaving it behind shortly.”
