It’s no secret that Conor McGregor has a serious problem with Khabib Nurmagomedov. Last Friday, ‘The Notorious’ lashed out at the UFC Hall of Famer by hurling a series of insults on his social media that many would consider racist and definitely was a PR disaster for the Irishman, who has had a difficult few years. However, someone famous has finally spoken a few positive words about the former UFC double champion.

Liam Flynn, an employee in Conor McGregor’s Black Forged Inn, recently shared a video on his Instagram where Kevin Hart can be seen speaking a few words of praise for ‘The Notorious’. Shot inside the Irishman’s bar, the Ride Along star thanked Conor McGregor for the food and the incredible hospitality. But that’s not all; he even asked the UFC fighter not to worry about his PR disasters.

Kevin Hart said, “Hey Conor, (inaudible) I wanna tell you thank you. The hospitality is amazing; your team is amazing; I can’t wait to taste the food. This about the way you’re being represented. I wanna let you know that people make you look really good, man. Shout out to you and what you’re doing.” Well, McGregor surely would be glad that at least someone is praising him amidst all the controversies that he is racking up.

His peers like Joe Rogan had often criticized the Irishman’s lifestyle, and now it is affecting him big time. The biggest hit came when he was found liable in the Nikita Hand case; he soon followed it up by questioning the nationality of fellow countryman and MMA fighter Paul Hughes when the 27-year-old praised the Dagestani camp after his fight against Usman Nurmagomedov and later told ‘The Eagle’ that, unlike McGregor, he respects the Dagestanis.

That did not sit well with Conor McGregor, who wrote a scathing tweet that read, “Get that flag off you, you little know what you are c— from up there,” and “Up the real irish.” This brought him major backlash, and it seemed like things couldn’t get any worse. But it seems like McGregor pulled off the impossible again by proving that he is a walking PR disaster now.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Conor McGregor's behavior tarnishing his legacy, or is he just being true to himself?

Have an interesting take?

Definitely affected by the provocation, the Irishman confronted the loyal fan of Nurmagomedov, who just laughed at him. Annoyed, the former UFC double champion, without thinking twice, spat in the individual’s face. Still not satisfied with his actions, Conor McGregor then took pride in such an attitude and trash-talked to the fan by saying out loud, “I spat in your face. What do you do? Nothing!”

However, he failed to ignore the other people around him who saw and recorded it all. Before he knew it, the video went viral on the internet and made him the biggest villain of MMA yet again. While there is no denying that the rivalry between these two former UFC champions is one of the biggest in MMA history, catching fans in the crossfire wasn’t something expected from the Irishman. What do you think? Will McGregor be able to salvage his reputation? Let us know in the comments.
