"Free speech?" - MMA X erupts as Conor McGregor brutally slams pro-Palestine Dubliners, after Khabib Nurmagomedov's heartfelt speech at PFL

MMA fans have been reacting to Conor McGregor's latest tirade, which has seen the former UFC champ brutally slam a pro-Palestine march that took place in Ireland's capital city of Dublin.

McGregor's comments came after his rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov, recently made an empassioned speech at the PFL Dubai event last Saturday. Following Usman Nurmagomedov's majority decision win over Paul Hughes, 'The Eagle' praised the Irishman for his performance in the fight, before he thanked the country of Ireland for supporting Palestine. Nurmagomedov said:

"But don't forget, Ireland is the biggest supporter in the world for Palestine. Don't forget about this, we love you guys. You, your government, everybody."

McGregor, however, wasn't a fan of the pro-Palestine march, and following Nurmagomedov's comments, took to social media to slam the protests. Despite the protest featuring flags of both Palestine and Hamas with a message of peace, 'The Notorious' stated that it should be a crime to carry flags of terrorist organizations. He tweeted:

"To raise the flag of a terrorist organization on Irish soil must become a major crime in the eyes of our state. It will not be tolerated nor lauded!"

Conor McGregor gets brutally honest about his changing attitude towards influencers stepping in to combat sports

Despite previously being vocally against influencers stepping into the world of combat sports, Conor McGregor has admitted his attitude towards it is changing.

Amidst rumors that he is set to face Logan Paul in an exhibition boxing bout this summer, 'The Notorious' has opened up about his changing perspective on the space. Speaking in a recent interview with The Schmo, the UFC star said:

"I like it. Like I said, I am more inclined now for this influencer f***ing whatever you call it because it's astronomical money, Schmo. It's astronomical the figures. So, who's a Jake, Logan, and f***ing KSI, I like the three of these guys. And all of that tussling around, it's an interesting little side pocket branch we'll call it."
