The nickname ‘Notorious’ rightly suits Conor McGregor. The UFC superstar is not only famous for his exceptional MMA achievements, but also for his outspoken personality. Whenever McGregor feels the need to express his thoughts, he never shies away from putting them out in the most unfiltered ways possible.

His X (formerly Twitter) account is proof of this statement. From calling out UFC stars to criticizing his country’s government, McGregor uses ‘X’ for all his controversial antics. Further, the Irishman even deletes many of his tweets after they cause mayhem on social media. Recently, UFC’s first double champ revealed his reason for this action.
