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!

Yes McGregor is a great fighter but I cant stand the arrogant prick and I'm delighted he's been brought back down to earth

@JOEdotie couldn't be happier that scumbag was beaten. Only sorry he wasn't choked fully.

And it wasn’t just in Ireland that people were pleased to see Conor McGregor taken down.

Not everyone though was glorying in the Crumlin native’s defeat:
Don't understand Irish people who hate McGregor, all down Facebook people are delighted, can't understand it
