It is everywhere at the moment, the video of Conor McGregor punching A man over a Dispute in a Pub. When the video was released, It spread everywhere and It gained so much attention, That is created a rift among People. How can a video of a man punching other man, actually create two opposite sides? You Had people who knew straight away, That is wrong, You should never Assault anyone, but then there where people you actually defend the incident?
Now the fact is, McGregor did sometimes wrong, plain and simple. Clear as day, but the question is now, Can McGregor come back from this?
Has his life outside of the UFC become so chaotic and uncontrollable that he has sealed his faith, and yes I will ask again, Can McGregor come back from this? Has the public opinion of him changed so much, that their is just no interest in him anymore? or, Will more people tune into him more now because of Who he is.
Conor McGregor is a Global Superstar, regardless if you liked him or hated him before all of his latest incidents, He is a name and he is a brand that makes money. People are interested in him, Good,Bad or the downright ugly, once a McGregor story hits a feed or a site, that's all you see and read. He splits opinions, He gets people angry and riled up, But it still gets attention.
What Can the UFC do now? Can they do damage control for McGregor? He is UFC'S Top Earner, he has smashed PPVs records, He is the first Double Champion in the organisation history, He brought them a new generation of Fans and made them, along with himself, Tons of Money. Can They just let him go? or will they find a way to spin this in their favour?
What has happened to McGregor that has made him hit the headlines, for all the wrong reasons lately? Has the pressure finally gotten to him? Has the fame and money gone to his head?
Is there something behind the scenes, that has him acting this way and continusly getting him in trouble?
Your Quess is as good as mine.
I don't know what exactly is next for Conor McGregor, I clearly dont. With all the incidents he has been in outside of The Octagon, piling up now, and People who once started to look up to him, now starting look away, Again, I dont know what is next for him.
I honestly wish, Whatever is going on with him, be it personal or other that he gets back to what people and fans loved him for. That he either sorts things out or just walks away. McGregor has faced criticism before, but lately, it's more then just that.
His actions have consequences and its hitting home Harder then ever before.
Whatever he does, has a ripple effect, and its spilling over to everything that he has worked for.
Can be bounce back from this and restore himself in the eyes of MMA fans and the general public?
or Has the Damage been already done?
Are we witnessing the Fall of One of the most talented and popular Athlete of all time?
Time will only tell.
