‘Is He Ever NOT Acting Like A Psycho?’ – Fans React As Conor McGregor Makes ‘Disgusting’ Tackles In Soccer Appearance

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor is infamously known for his rise to stardom in the Octagon, as well as his antics and controversies inside and out of the cage. But for one day, the Irishman took his talents from the cage to the pitch. McGregor laced up his cleats earlier today and joined Black […]

McGregor laced up his cleats earlier today and joined Black Forge FC, taking on Harding FC in a Premier Division matchup for the United Churches Football League (UCFL), an amateur soccer league in Dublin.

While the game ended in a 1-1 draw, it took notoriety for not only the fighter’s appearance, but the hard-nosed intensity and aggression that he brought to the field.

“I break jaws with my shoulder, and noses,” McGregor posted to social media. “I get the ball any pitch, anywhere. Moses”

McGregor has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the last couple of months. He was recently made by an Irish jury to pay over $250,000 to a woman, Nikita Hand, who was civilly suing the polarizing fighter. Hand accused McGregor of a December 2018 sexual assault.

The Dublin native’s controversies resulted in another soccer team, Drogheda United, distancing themselves from the UFC star in a statement after the former two-division champ posted a photo of himself holding the team’s recently won FAI Cup.

Despite rumors the past two years of a fight with Michael Chandler, “The Notorious” has not been seen in the UFC since his July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.

The long-standing rivalry between Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor took another fiery turn on social media today, with Chandler delivering a scathing response to McGregor’s latest tweet. The exchange has reignited tensions between the two fighters, whose much-anticipated clash has been teased for years.

Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler

Conor McGregor is well-known for his brash social media presence, posted an exuberant tweet promoting his involvement in bare-knuckle fighting. In typical McGregor fashion, the Irishman hyped up his return to Philadelphia, referencing the city’s connection to the iconic fictional boxer Rocky Balboa. He wrote: “WE ARE BAD MOTHERF*ERS IN BAREKNUCKLE, END OF. Watch the content below. See you soon beautiful Philadelphia, home of Rocky Balboa. We are coming in with NO GLOVES AND CLOSED FISTS and with the Heavyweight World Title on the line! Real mad man shit. Made for Philly! Course we brought the heavyweight belt! PHILADELPHIA! WHAT A CITY!”

Michael Chandler wasted no time firing back with a brutal retort that mocked McGregor’s current status in combat sports. He tweeted on X: “Who TF is ‘we’ – you are a suit and the ones you wear keep getting cheaper and cheaper. You’ll be flipping through the clearance rack in no time… @TheNotoriousMMA”

The jab hit hard, as it not only dismissed Conor McGregor’s claims of being an active fighter but also took a swipe at his persona and perceived decline in relevance. Michael Chandler’s quip about “cheaper suits” seemed to allude to McGregor’s waning credibility in the MMA world, where he has been more active on social media than in actual competition.

This exchange is just the latest chapter in a rivalry that has been frustrating for fans. The two were first paired as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 31 in early 2023, with an eventual fight expected to follow. However, a series of delays, including McGregor’s absence from USADA testing protocols and an injury that sidelined him in mid-2024, meant the fight never came to fruition.

Chandler, once optimistic about facing McGregor, grew increasingly frustrated as months turned into years without any concrete plans. Despite McGregor’s unpredictable behavior and frequent teases about potential fights, including rumored bouts with influencers like Logan Paul, Michael Chandler has remained vocal about his willingness to fight him. However, today’s sharp response suggests that Chandler may be losing patience with Conor McGregor’s antics.

Fans have taken to social media to weigh in on the spat, with many praising Chandler for calling out McGregor’s bravado. Others lamented how far McGregor has drifted from his fighting prime.

UFC veteran Angela Hill recently shared her thoughts on the unpredictability of Conor McGregor. ‘Overkill’ Hill discussed the infamous partying lifestyle of ‘Notorious’ McGregor, former two-division UFC champion. Apparently, once the man gets started into something bad no one can stop him.

Angela Hill Talks Conor McGregor

Speaking on her podcast alongside Jessica Penne, Angela Hill said, “I would not want to be left alone at a Conor McGregor party because he sounds—he sounds like, once he gets going, I feel like whether you care about him or not, he can’t be stopped.” Hill is suggesting that someone needs to keep an eye on McGregor at all times, like a bodyguard, to ensure his party habits don’t continue to rule his life.

Angela Hill is well-known for her volumetric striking record-breaking career in the UFC. She humorously added that managing Conor McGregor at such an event might require some extra help. “Who’s going to stop him? Like, you’re gonna have to hire Khabib [Nurmagomedov] to hang out with us. Like, that’s the only answer we need,” she joked, referencing McGregor’s infamous rivalry with former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

The US-born Hill suggested that fellow UFC fighter Dustin Poirier might also be called upon to keep McGregor in check, saying, “We just need you to hang out with Conor. He is having a party; it’s really important. He can’t get into trouble—just be a bodyguard, be a buddy, be a wingman, and stop him from doing bad stuff. I think the answer.”

While Angela Hill’s comments were made in jest, they stress Conor McGregor’s reputation for his wild partying lifestyle. The Irish fighter has been known to stir controversy both inside and outside the Octagon, with his recent legal troubles and highly publicized lifestyle often making headlines. Last year, he continued to pop up at various bars in the USA night after night to serve drinks. He’s also been involved with pub fights in Ireland.

Conor McGregor’s controversial career took a major turn in 2024 after a civil jury found him liable for assault and ordered him to pay damages in a high-profile case. This case confirmed his drug use habits are true. This, along with his public persona and party habits, has raised doubts about his future in MMA. As of now, McGregor’s fighting career remains uncertain after his last fight in 2021, and a planned return in 2024 was canceled due to injury.

Angela Hill continues to compete at the top of the UFC’s strawweight division and will be fighting Ketlen Souza on February 15, 2025, at a UFC Fight Night, with hopes of adding another win to her impressive record. McGregor, on the other hand, remains one of the sport’s most talked-about figures, with his party lifestyle continuing to make waves.

Irish Soccer Team Distances Itself From Conor McGregor After UFC Star Poses With Trophy Post-Cup Final Win

For a long time, being associated with Conor McGregor was one of the biggest boosts that any brand, company or product could hope to land on but that has changed significantly in recent months. In November, “The Notorious” was found liable for assault by an Irish court in his civil rape case. The Irishman was […]

The Irishman was forced to pay out 248,000 euros following the result of his case but the financial damage is the only start of the repercussions. Several brands that were formerly linked with the sporting superstar have backed away from “The Mac” in the aftermath including the whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve, which he launched in 2018 and sold three years later for a huge profit.

In a recent social media post, McGregor broadcast a photo of him holding the FAI Cup to his 47.1 million Instagram followers. The cup was recently won by Drogheda United who defeated Derry City 2-0 in Dublin to become FAI champions for the second time in their over 100-year history.

The former UFC champ-champ was seen celebrating at his Black Forge Inn alongside his cousin Warren Davis, who was an unused substitute in the final which took place on November 10. The Ireland Premier Division club have since posted an official statement on their website and on social media in order to distance themselves from McGregor who spoke about buying a club in his initial message.

“A social media post has been brought to our attention today regarding the FAI Cup. Those pictured are a close relation to one of our first team players, who like all the other players had custody of the cup to celebrate with their families at different intervals. Drogheda United do not associate ourselves with the individual who made the social media post in any way, or with any unauthorised brands mentioned.”

Conor McGregor Claims BKFC KnuckleMania Set To Break UFC’s 14-Year Wells Fargo Center Gate Record

The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), part-owned by Conor McGregor, looks set to host its biggest event to date in a few weeks’ time, and perhaps the biggest to grace Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. Bare-knuckle fighting continues to gain further prominence, largely down to the growth of the BKFC. The organization hosts KnuckleMania as its […]

Bare-knuckle fighting continues to gain further prominence, largely down to the growth of the BKFC. The organization hosts KnuckleMania as its flagship event each year, with the fifth edition set to go down from “The City of Brotherly Love” on Jan. 25.

In the main event, former UFC fighters Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens will do battle. There will also be championship gold on the line beforehand, with veteran MMA heavyweight Ben Rothwell throwing down with Mick Terrill.

Keeping a close eye on proceedings will be McGregor, a former two-division UFC champion whose part-ownership of BKFC was announced by president David Feldman at KnuckleMania 4 last year.

“The Notorious” has been doing plenty of promotional work for the organization since, and the latest saw him react on social media to the release of additional tickets for this month’s major card.

And during it, the Irishman made a strong claim about ticket sales for KnuckleMania 5, hinting that BKFC is in line to break the Wells Fargo Center arena record, which the UFC has held since 2011.

“Biggest gate in the arena’s history? Oh yes! See you all there!” McGregor wrote. “BARE KNUCKLE ACTION LIVE FROM WELLS FARGO CENTER, PHILADELPHIA! #PhiladelphiaInaugralBKFCShow“

The arena record was captured at UFC 133, where Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz collided in the main event. The card also featured the likes of Vitor Belfort, Rory MacDonald, Alexander Gustafsson and Chad Mendes.

That event generated a gate of $1.5 million, a figure the BKFC looks poised to surpass if McGregor’s words are to be believed.
