Despite the scratchy defeat, Conor McGregor didn’t hesitate to trade words with his rival Dustin Poirier after the unfortunate end of UFC 264. However, it didn’t earn him any notable appraisal. Instead, umpteen people have demeaned the former UFC champion, including internet star Logan Paul.
The YouTuber turned boxer, who is known for his uncanny activities in the sports world, posed his opinion on McGregor’s loss. Although he bothered to care about the Irishman’s ill-fate, that didn’t stop ‘The Maverick’ from bashing ‘Notorious’.
Speaking with ES News, Logan Paul said, “It sucks, it’s unfortunate. I really do feel bad for Conor [McGregor]. I don’t know like he is a sore loser. Like he is a sore fu*** loser. I didn’t love the post-fight wife comments, like shut the f**** up.”
