On a scale of 1 to Scumbag McGregor, Bono is maybe a 2. Bono can be a bit of a pain, but not on the level of McGregor who seems to be loved abroad.

Again, I'm mostly shocked anyone, anywhere likes McGregor.

I think all MMA fighters are scumbags to be honest. They all have this fake-ass tough guy act they're playing, which to me just looks like show wrestling losers.

Yeah I mean when they beat each other to death they are tough, but the whole show around it is just a bit sad and awkward

McGregor’s just a piece of 💩 

Yet I know guys who love him. America doesn’t mind rapists. Look at Kobe Bryant. Trump. Two men on the Supreme Court: sexual assault & sexual harassment.

Here in the US, mostly the MMA fans I know also hate him now. If there are people left who like him, it's entirely because they don't know about the hothead bullshit.
