UFC megastar Conor McGregor hasn’t done himself any favors as of late.
Video footage was released earlier this week of ‘The Notorious’ striking a fellow Irishman on the head at a bar in his hometown of Dublin, and the former two-division champ has come under fire from just about everyone, including his own fans.
While McGregor’s reputation has undoubtedly taken a battering this past week, the Irishman’s former opponent, Nate Diaz, has skyrocketed in popularity since his comeback fight against Anthony Pettis at UFC 241.
Diaz outclassed Pettis to take home a unanimous decision in the co-headlining bout at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, and the 34-year-old has been trending on YouTube and social media ever since.
