McGregor’s Strong Reaction

Conor McGregor, who has previously supported Trump, reacted angrily to Trump’s comments. On social media, McGregor called Trump’s endorsement of Nurmagomedov a “campaign-ending decision,” criticizing the choice of a non-American fighter as his favorite. McGregor went further, accusing Trump of not being a real billionaire and expressing disappointment that Trump did not support an American fighter instead.

Stop it…. @TheNotoriousMMA . If you had half the balls that DT had you would have shown up June 29th. Instead you’re normal walking, beer chuggin’ Austin 3:16 style at a local fight show/motorcycle rally in South Dakota, a RED, 100% #maga state by the way. 🇺🇸
