Conor McGregor har lagt allt på is för att assistera sitt hemland Irland under coronakrisen. Han väljer dock nu att kritisera Kina som han anser utnyttjar krisen ekonomiskt utan att leverera kvalitativa produkter.
Kina har denna vecka kritiserats för att ha exporterat undermålig läkarutrustning till Irland. Masker, visir, handskar, respiratorer, ventilatorer med mera inspekterades och skickades till behövande områden i Irland. Mycket bedömdes dock inte hålla måttet.
Detta fick McGregor, som tidigare donerat 1 miljon dollar för att hjälpa till under pandemin, att omedelbart reagera via sociala medier:
Truly horrendous. Not only are the prices being raised by these people on all our items. Masks, visors, gloves, ventilators, respirators, oxygen containers, screen monitors, you name it. All jacked in price. The batches coming in are now of no use!
Ludicrously inhumane behaviour. https://t.co/vWafczzEKA— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 3, 2020

McGregor valde också att kritisera den irländske politikern Leo Varadkar efter att denne tackat den kinesiske premiärministern Li Keqiang för den ovannämnda utrustningen:
Take back this thank you and offer of assistance, this instant!
It is barbaric what has been done here. All the way throughout this pandemic. Barbaric! #FlattenTheirNose https://t.co/rUvehC916w— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 3, 2020

Slutligen uppmanade McGregor sitt land att börja producera sin egna COVID-19-utrustning till sin sin ”negligerade sjukhuspersonal”:
We need Irish produced equipment items and we need it yesterday.
Western produced at the least.
Please if you can assist, enter here and join the fight to support our neglected front line staff. They do not deserve the treatment they’ve received over the years.
Ireland stand up!— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 3, 2020

McGregor har ryktats hoppa in i huvudmatchen vid UFC 249 den 18 april men hans tränare John Kavanagh har nu gått ut med att det inte finns en chans att den forne dubbelmästaren gör detta.
