Conor McGregor is Irish.

Though I suppose I'm unaware if the president of Ireland is a rapist or not.

They're talking about him being on an American television show. He's a celebrity in the eyes of Americans.

I was being tongue-in-cheek. He’s not only popular in the US.

He’s a professional fighter, asshole, and violent rapist. I believe he fights for UFC.

Ah, that's why. I'm blissfully unaware of all that "entertainment".

Yeah apparently he's been platformed for weeks now on UFC and other sports channels. The outrage only started when he did this interview with Fallon.

Not a single peep about this rapist until then. All those sports channels and UFC are fully embracing this piece of shit rapist.
