Conor McGregor Beefing With Ian Machado Garry?! Ariel Helwani Reacts
What was said
"No problem. No problemo, as they say in Brazil. Oh, Machado. I think Irish MMA may need to cannibalize itself to be reborn."
At the UFC 313 press conference, Conor McGregor indicated he would have no issue fighting fellow Irishman Ian Machado Garry, even mockingly referring to him as 'Machado' and 'the Brazilian guy' in apparent jabs at Garry's ties to Brazil and America. Analyst suggests this represents McGregor airing grievances Irish MMA fans hold against Garry, who initially ingratiated himself to McGregor through sparring sessions but has since fallen out of favor with Irish fans.
