Conor McGregor’s social media notifications would have been quite active on Thursday night.
The UFC interim featherweight champion posted perhaps his most controversial message of all when he hit back at online criticism of his decision to wear a poppy at a UFC event two years ago.
These fans voiced their disapproval of McGregor’s comments on Facebook.
Twitter was also awash with supporters condemning the Dubliner.

Can't help but laugh at Conor McGregor coming out to the Foggy Dew and then wears a poppy. Make your mind up lad 😂

But, fair is fair, and we can’t pretend that McGregor didn’t have any support because there was one group of fans who backed the comments of The Notorious.
Conor McGregor good lad for wearing a poppy. Controversial amongst his majority fan base…
