McGregor's Strong Words
CONOR MCGREGOR'S Facebook account did not hold back in a recent attack on Guinness, labeling them as 'greedy robbing b*****ds' in a series of fiery posts.
The UFC star has been a vocal critic of the popular Irish drink for years, even launching his own rival Irish Forged Stout and establishing a pub in Dublin that serves his beer along with Proper 12 Whiskey.
Competition Fueled Criticism
Despite the success of his own beverages, McGregor's social media account took aim at Guinness and its founder, Arthur Guinness, accusing the company of frequent price hikes and greed.
The posts on a community page dedicated to Guinness slammed the brand, stating, "Arthur Guinness was a rat for a foreign entity." McGregor's account praised Forged Stout as the "working man's drink" with "real prices."
What's Next for McGregor?
The outspoken fighter's recent behavior has raised concerns about his upcoming fight with Michael Candler, with rumors circulating about a possible press conference cancellation ahead of UFC 303 in Las Vegas.
McGregor, 35, has faced scrutiny over his partying habits, with UFC President Dana White questioning the authenticity of videos showing McGregor celebrating.
White expressed uncertainty about the validity of the online content, stating, "I don't know what's real on the internet and what's not real on the internet."
