VIDEO: Former UFC Champion Conor McGregor Becomes the Laughingstock of Hilarious TV Moment

Conor McGregor was the first fighter to hold both, featherweight and lightweight championships simultaneously, in the history of UFC. This is probably the reason the Irish MMA fighter gained immense attention and fame. His fame has risen to a great level with the help of all the media coverage that he’s getting.

However, Conor McGregor recently became the prime subject of a side-splitting mix-up on TV. The former Scottish footballer, Alistair McCoist, failed to recall the name of the Celtic captain, Callum McGregor and said Conor McGregor in his stead.

Ally McCoist says Conor McGregor instead of Callum McGregor

Ally McCoist appeared with the former Celtic player, Chris Sutton, on BT Sport’s Scottish Football Extra. The presenter, Emma Dodds, questioned Ally McCoist, “Four Scotland players started every game. Can you name them?” The Ibrox hero started to answer and named the goalkeeper Craig Gordan instantly.

But, he had a brain freeze in naming the second player, as he made the hilarious blunder of naming ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor, instead of the Celtic captain and hero, Callum McGregor. He quickly realized his mistake and rectified it by saying Callum McGregor’s name. 

Ally McCoist is a hilarious guy. He made light of the situation and gave us all a good laugh. The three of them could not stop their laughter. Emma Dodds added to the humor, saying, “If he [Conor McGregor] qualifies for Scotland, then Steve Clarke is really digging deep to get his players”.

She took the incident lightly and took Callum McGregor as the correct answer. “Lucky for you, I won’t take your first answer. Callum McGregor is correct”, she said. 

Ally McCoist has a good sense of humor

Ally McCoist is a humorous man with an immense knowledge of his game. He has previously debated with Chris Sutton on Twitter. McCoist got a bit competitive and tried to answer with jet speed and fumbled. It is justifiable to confuse the two athletes, as they carry the same last name and the same initials.
