The nickname ‘Notorious’ rightly suits Conor McGregor. The UFC superstar is not only famous for his exceptional MMA achievements, but also for his outspoken personality. Whenever McGregor feels the need to express his thoughts, he never shies away from putting them out in the most unfiltered ways possible.
His X (formerly Twitter) account is proof of this statement. From calling out UFC stars to criticizing his country’s government, McGregor uses ‘X’ for all his controversial antics. Further, the Irishman even deletes many of his tweets after they cause mayhem on social media. Recently, UFC’s first double champ revealed his reason for this action.

Amidst recent acts of violence and riots in Ireland, Conor McGregor stirred controversy with a tweet. Moreover, this prompted an investigation into him by the country’s police. Soon afterward, the Irishman deleted his tweet. In response to public scrutiny over deleting his tweets, McGregor strongly defended his actions.
Not at all. My statements, widely publicized, stand. I remove after they have been up and well reported on for a plethora of reasons. Some personal. Seeing my country in flames hurts my heart. Seeing a man label a person who stabs innocent children in broad daylight a “gentleman”… https://t.co/Ts3gHUePVl
— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) December 3, 2023
Further, he stated that his statements, once widely reported, remain intact. “My statements, widely publicized, stand”. Also, the Irishman emphasized personal reasons for the deletion. “I remove after they have been up and well reported on for a plethora of reasons. Some personal.”

“As it stands I am not appointed by the state. I post my thoughts, I allow reporting, then I am in my right to remove from my line”, he wrote. “It is also time effective. I have 4 children. A major fight incoming. Multiple businesses with almost 300 people employed, and growing, I need to be correct with my time,” he added.
