Off the back of a heated feud this evening between himself and Conor McGregor, Derry fan-favorite, Paul Hughes has claimed the UFC star’s opinion on him no longer “holds weight” following a brash outburst in which the Dubliner questioned the former’s Irish identity.
Engaged in a bitter dispute on social media today, Hughes was the subject of a host of disparaging posts by McGregor this morning, who labelled him a “c*nt” for speaking with arch-rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov following his PFL: Road to Dubai headliner this month, as well as calling into question his Irish identity.
