Conor McGregor demands responsibility & consistency from government amid COVID-19 pandemic

Conor McGregor once again showed his political side as he took to Twitter and demanded “responsibility and consistency” from world leaders during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Conor McGregor claimed that the men and women in government should act as role models and should follow the rules made for beating the deadly virus. “Is it too much to hope for responsibility and consistency from our leaders? We expect the men and women in government to be our role models,” McGregor wrote. “If they can’t abide by their own standards to beat the virus, then we need new people in charge. No one is above this,” wrote the former two-division UFC champion.

Conor McGregor is one of the most celebrated fighters in the history of UFC with a string of accolades to his name. He has bested fighters like Jose Aldo and Eddie Alvarez and has fought UFC greats like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Nate Diaz and others in some incredible PPVs. His fight against Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 drew 2.4 million PPV buys, the most ever for an MMA event.

His last opponent was Donald Cerrone, who he defeated in under 40 seconds at UFC 246. After that, Conor McGregor retired from the sport, claiming that the game doesn’t excite him anymore. However, fans believe that The Notorious One could soon return and fight Khabib Nurmagomedov, Nate Diaz or Justin Gaethje.

“I’m a bit bored of the game. I don’t know if it’s [because there’s] no crowd. I don’t know what it is. There’s just no buzz for me,” Conor McGregor told ESPN after announcing his retirement.
