The UFC superstar, Conor McGregor, is a favorite of the meme makers, as most of the memes related to the Irishman are enjoyed by many. By now, McGregor has proven that it is easy for him to hit the headlines, as people love to know every single detail about their favorite fighter. 2023 is definitely an exceptional year for McGregor fans, as the Irish superstar has finally decided to set his foot back in the octagon. The crowd expected that the two-division champion would directly hit the octagon. However, that’s when the most unexpected news reached the fans that the Irishman would first serve as a coach in TUF 31 against Michael Chandler and later the two will lock horns at the end of the season.
At the moment, the coaches are already in Las Vegas, shooting for TUF. Nonetheless, McGregor, being his notorious self, has made headlines from the TUF location for all the wrong reasons. This gave the memers more opportunities to troll McGregor. The meme where the African American version of the Irishman is portrayed pissed off the welterweight, Kevin Holland.

The racist nature of the meme was visible as they edited McGregor‘s face in black. After posting the meme, Holland wrote, “Did this really happen? Also, why don’t they have light-skinned tanning spots?“
