True Geordie slams his idol Conor McGregor in passionate speech after UFC star punched old man YouTube: True Geordie \/ Instagram: thenotoriousmmaYouTuber Brian \u2018True Geordie\u2019 Davis has slammed his hero and professional MMA fighter Conor McGregor following the emergence of a video which appeared to show the Irish megastar punch a man in a bar. Conor McGregor is one of Mixed Martial Arts\u2019 biggest stars, rising through the ranks of the UFC\u2019s Featherweight division, becoming the first man in UFC history to hold championships in two weight divisions, and even taking on Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather in what was described as \u201cthe biggest fight in combat sports history.\u201d McGregor has been making headlines away from the Octagon though, and following the release of footage which appears to show \u2018The Notorious One\u2019 punch an elderly man who refused a shot of his whiskey, True Geordie has decided to criticize his idol and his recent behavior. 600\u201cAs a lot of you know, I am known as one of the McGregor fanboys on YouTube,\u201d the 32-year-old stated. \u201cHe\u2019s probably in my top three dream interviews, I\u2019ve purposely avoided criticizing him in the past so I didn\u2019t fuck it over for us in the future. Well, that ends today.\u201d He continued on: \u201cI\u2019m about to kiss that interview goodbye. What the fuck can I say, punching old men in pubs. I\u2019ve tried defending him so many times. You\u2019ve inspired so many young kids to take up martial arts, to be a better person, and the performances you gave across your career and you showed the heart of a lion. I bought into it. You were like me, a regular working-class guy who just wanted to look after his family, give them a better life and prove the haters wrong.\u201d \u201cThere were some antics where I said (nothing.) They\u2019re all private matters, we don\u2019t know the full story. But when it comes to this, you\u2019re in a pub and you offer a shot to an old guy and he probably tells you your whiskey is shit? You\u2019re a fucking professional fighter. You\u2019re a lethal weapon.\u201d True Geordie added: \u201cThere\u2019s a way of conducting yourself. He\u2019s a little old man, you don\u2019t punch him in the face. Everything you started MMA for \u2013 to defend yourself, to defend your family, to be a better person \u2013 you\u2019ve shit all over it, and everyone who\u2019s defended you in the past, we all look like fucking idiots, but you look like the biggest fucking idiot.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m gutted that someone I looked up to would act in this way. Fuck me man, what the fuck are you on? The saddest thing about it is, it\u2019s the first fight you\u2019ve won in three years!\u201d Regulator collaborator Laurence McKenna, who sat off-camera during the rant, asked whether True Geordie was disappointed because he thought McGregor was \u201cabove this kind of behavior.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m more annoyed that other the years a lot of people have said that this is the type of bloke he is,\u201d he replied. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve said \u2018Nah.\u2019 I\u2019ve watched so many interviews, I\u2019ve consumed every bit of content, I felt like you get a good idea of who someone is.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s just ruined it, because now whenever someone says anything, I can\u2019t say (anything) now, because those actions are indefensible. He\u2019s proved the haters right, unfortunately.\u201d According to reports in his native land, McGregor will face charges for the altercation although these have yet to be confirmed by police in Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
