Why Do People Get So Mad When They Say Mcgregor Is The First UK Champ?

[KhabibTheBeagle]

McGregor isn't a champ and he's not from the UK. Does that answer your question? Never actually heard anyone refer to him as part of the UK, though, tbh.

 

[Mob69]

Technically it's true right?

Sure. And a dude from Chile is a citizen of Nigeria.

 

[Fatal Catro]

McGregor is not champ.

Are there like 2 different Irish people, or just one nation divided in two countries ? I am asking Irish people from either side.

I think there are more than two Irish people. There's at least 3, even 4.

1937 called and wants its constitution recognised.

I think that's about right. The rest fucked off to England to work. A load of people taking advantage of Irish tax laws moved in in their place.

Ireland actually wants to be an independent country, it's Scotland that can't do it on it's own and needs England to look after them.

That'll hurt some butts for sure.

It doesnt make me mad, but he's not a champion of anything.

He has a chance to be the champ if he beats Aldo, but until then he's still just a contender.

 

[wilKO]

No its not correct. God help Geography.

Our fighters in the UK are an embarrassment and a reflection of the selfie culture, they spend more time mouthing off with fake antics and drama than they do training, they take more bruises on twitter than they do in the actual fight ffs.

They are posers not real warriors, I really hate what UK MMA has become, instead of getting by on talent and victories they can't fight so they sell drama instead.

Mcgregor is a top fighter, he's well off being out of the "UK label", he's Irish not British.

It's like I pointed out in a similar thread before, modern Irish athletes like McGregor have benefited tremendously from the infrastructure that the British empire created from it's 120 odd rule over there. Ireland was pure peasant country prior to British rule. Poverty was rife, people were starving, but thankfully the British came along and changed all that.

Union bless.

The British establishment never seem to have quite grasped that Ireland's an independent country.

 

[OuchPleaseNooo]

The BBC did sort of.

What is this famous BBC claiming McGregor to be Irish thing? Can't find it anywhere. When have BBC even mentioned MMA? let a lone McGregor lol. BT Sport who cover MMA in the UK can't even bring themselves to mention it unless it is between 12 am and 6 am so i can't see the BBC jumping on board.

Are you sure it's not the usual case of 'Irish pretending British are interested in them' scenario?

They have done the occasional article (very occasional, granted) on MMA.
