Media is McGregor a British man posing as an Irishman ?

[Phillyz]

Why does he hang the British flag on his yacht instead of the Irish flag? (time-stamped)



He also wore the Poppy a symbol that supports the British Soldiers during the time of troubles in Ireland




His fighting style doesn't seem very British to me but it's pretty clear where his allegiance relies

His mom or dad is from Liverpool. I can't remember which one.

Doesn't Liverpool have a high Irish population?

either way I think he's a British man with an Irish fighting style

Wtf is a British fighting style in MMA?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

The BBC are trying to claim 'United Kingdom's' Conor McGregor as one of their own

It seems everyone wants a piece of Conor McGregor. It's often noted that the British media like to claim sports starts as English even if they are not from England.

as McGregor would put it, it's a "stuck in da mud" type of style
maybe that's why he wanted to learn the ways of the Irish

Someone once told me (years back, when Conor was still a featherweight) that Conor was a sellout and no true Irish liked him, because he wore something commemorating a holiday that only a British sellout would support. I suppose it may have been the Twelfth.

Yes it was about the Poppy he wore at a UFC event, the pic in the OP.

So is Cerrone a British fighter? He called him stuck in the mud.

I have family in Ireland, they all say the same thing.

He's only popular amongst the youth

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Sounds more like an Irishman who wishes he was British...

Perhaps he has some British genetics

Neither can he.

 

[Brigfa2]

Yeah he is little bit different(in a good way) than a typical irish person

 

[Tibbles]

The Bermuda flag is often used as a 'flag of convenience' when sailing, definitely doesn't make Conor a fake Irishman.

 

[Ornife]

The Irish begrudging someone successful? I'm SHOCKED!

 

[Corrado Soprano]

McGregor has always been a caricature of an Irishman. I actually believe he wishes he was from Dagestan. Conor envies their comradery, their training, and their loyalty. Conor is itching to jump into that hot tub. Khabib’s and Islam’s willpower to avoid drugs/alcohol is something McGregor wishes he had.

Stuck in the mud is past tense form of stick in the mud. It means that Cerrone's family were British, but they emigrated to America. Hence he was stuck, but not stick.
