Video: ‘Heroic psychopath’ Conor McGregor stars on SNL

This past weekend saw yet another example of how UFC champion Conor McGregor has become a mainstream celebrity. However, this example didn’t see ‘Notorious’ being celebrated for his sporting achievements. Instead it lambasted the Irishman for his off-the-rails behaviour and increasingly erratic persona.

We have Saturday Night Live to thank for this. In a skit called ‘Mellen’, cast member Alex Moffat played McGregor alongside Jason Sudeikis. In that skit McGregor, who is called a “heroic psychopath”, ends up trying to attack audience members.

You can see the whole thing below:

McGregor is becoming increasingly more known for his violent outbursts, which includes sickening online threats and lashing out at celebrities.
