The internet reacts to Conor McGregor’s controversial poppy comments

Conor McGregor's social media notifications would have been quite active on Thursday night.

The UFC interim featherweight champion posted perhaps his most controversial message of all when he hit back at online criticism of his decision to wear a poppy at a UFC event two years ago. These fans voiced their disapproval of McGregor's comments on Facebook. Twitter was also awash with supporters condemning the Dubliner. https://twitter.com/FCr_91/status/659838811564867584 https://twitter.com/Dobz95/status/659834930453684224 https://twitter.com/ReeceMcc_CFC/status/659827119829204992 https://twitter.com/MrCliftonville/status/659821852471271425 But, fair is fair, and we can't pretend that McGregor didn't have any support because there was one group of fans who backed the comments of The Notorious.  https://twitter.com/JoshSmithNI/status/659825912955936768 https://twitter.com/_Rachel_Clarke/status/659815101172727809
