Schadenfreude.
Conor McGregor has always divided opinion – it’s a big part of why he’s been such a success in the UFC.
Inevitably, if and when the fall came, there was going to be a lot of people who were going to delight in his demise.
This is their day.
Delighted to hear that McGregor got his face kicked in!
