Tidigare i veckan arresterade UFC-stjärnan Conor McGregor återigen, denna gång för att han ska ha tagit ett fans telefon och stampat sönder den. Irländaren ska ha provocerats av att denne skulle varit för påträngande.
Den tidigare UFC-mästarinnan i bantamvikt, Miesha Tate, har även hon varit i offentlighetens fokus under en tid och förstår hur frustrerad McGregor kan känna sig. Hon är dock inget fan av att bryta mot lagen.
Hon uttalade sig som följande via Twitter:
”It’s the price of fame…it’s the unfortunate thing that megastars and super famous people have to learn to put up with and Conor is no exception – you cannot take someone’s phone and smash it” – @MieshaTate weighs in on Conor McGregor’s recent fan altercation@RyanMcKinnell pic.twitter.com/aMsEgPlaBx

Hon intervjuades även i MMA Tonight där hon utvecklade sina tankar där hon underströk att fansens påträngande beteende generellt inte är olagligt:
It’s not breaking the law, and it’s not illegal. It’s annoying, but it’s not crossing the line.
He is a megastar. He has made himself into one of the most recognizable faces … and he’s making millions and millions and millions of dollars. He’s created that. So, what I think is that this fan was out of line. He was disrespectful and probably should’ve had a little more common sense to respect the space of Conor. With that being said, I guarantee you that guy’s bought every single one of Conor McGregor’s pay-per-views.
So figure it out, Conor. Do you appreciate your fans, all of them, the ones that are making you rich, or not? Blow the guy off. That’s kind of what you have to do. It’s the price of fame.
It’s not helping anything, and it’s the unfortunate thing that I think megastars and super famous people have to learn to put up with. And Conor’s no exception. You cannot take a person’s phone and smash it.
