"Dustin Poirier's b**ch filter" - Fans troll Conor McGregor over alleged use of filter in recent picture termed "gorgeous" by the Irishman

Conor McGregor is arguably the UFC's biggest pay-per-view star and one of the most popular fighters on social media. Coupled with the massive outpour of support he has been getting for his potential presidential bid, one would think fight fans would never turn against 'The Notorious.'

Well, that doesn't seem to be the case.

A recent Instagram post from former two-division champion has gained notoriety for all the wrong reasons. McGregor's picture titled 'Team gorgeous' looks like it has had some enhancements done to it.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the fighter used a filter on the picture.

The ever-cheeky MMA fan base didn't let the opportunity slide and laid down the proverbial fire on their beloved superstar.

When Conor McGregor accepted he was the most handsome MMA fighter

Whether or not Conor McGregor uses filters on his photos, in 2014, a reporter quizzed 'The Notorious' on whether his popularity stems from his dashing good looks.

During a media interaction for UFC 178, the Irishman was asked whether he considers himself the best-looking MMA fighter. Although McGregor was initially reluctant to give a straight answer, he eventually let up and said:

"I say I'd be up there. I don't really think about that, it is not really something that I think about... but best looking? F**k it, I'll take it; why not? If you want to give it to me, I'll take it. Give me a plaque, and celebrate. No problem."
