“F*ck you and the Queen” – Conor McGregor reacts to criticism of his wearing of the poppy

Conor McGregor has certainly ramped up his divisiveness this week.

The Notorious released an incredible online outburst about the wearing of poppies around Remembrance Sunday and claimed that the act of sporting the flower is to show respect to soldiers who have passed away in all wars. We don't know what prompted the tirade that McGregor posted on Facebook on Thursday evening which closed with the line: "You have a pint in your hand and a Celtic jersey on in your local. Fuck you and the Queen." McGregor has been photographed in the past wearing the poppy at a UFC event so it's been suggested that the above outburst was an attempt from McGregor to hit back at any criticism he's received for doing so.

Will he delete it? If there's one thing we know about Conor McGregor is that he doesn't crack under pressure.
