Conor McGregor Sparks Another Controversy With Ebanie Bridges on Her Birthday, Days After Creating Unwanted Rumors During Anthony Joshua Fight

The ‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor is a man surrounded by fame, spotlight, and, of course, controversies. McGregor knows how to stay relevant in the world of combat sports, even outside the cage. Hardly any fighter in the UFC has mustered as much following and media attention as McGregor. And all for his callous and audacious claims.

The Mystic Mac’s stunt to promote his drink brand, Forged Irish Stout, has landed him in trouble once again, just days after his controversial comeback stunt. And this time again, it surrounds none other than ‘The Blonde Bomber‘ Ebanie Bridges.

Fans are not happy to see Bridges with McGregor and have criticized her for flirting with him at previous events. Her sudden appearance thus gathered unwanted attention and even went as far as hurling abuses at her online.

Ebaine Bridges responded to the rumors.

Ebaine Bridges was soon to respond to the abuses that were hurled against her. She was quick to take the matter to X (Twitter). In a tweet that was specifically directed toward the fans, she stated, “Shoutout to everyone talking about me and @TheNotoriousMMA & @ForgedStout. Especially the haters cos you guys are talking the loudest. Appreciate you promoting us & the @ForgedStout. Absolute legends ILY. A couple more pics for you”

Even after indicating that the allegations did not bother her, she was quick to shed light upon the rumors as well. Sharing an interaction with McGregor, she clarified how it was nothing more than a business move- a publicity stunt to promote ForgedStout.

Although it seems to have worked, with the community buzzing with varied opinions, it seems the two fighters have hogged more spotlight than their favorite beverage. So what are your thoughts on this? Is it a smart business move or will it eventually backfire on ‘The Notorious’?
