On his YouTube channel, DC reflected on recent events and lamented that the Irishman finds himself involved in so many troubled legal situations. It is important to note that Hand was not the first woman to accuse McGregor of sexual violence.
“Sometimes celebrities are targets. But with Conor, it seems like there’s been more than one instance where things like this have come up. Like I said, I’m not judging this guy. I don’t know. I wasn’t there. But, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen something like this, so you’re a little less inclined to think, ‘Oh, she’s a freeloader who’s trying to do this,’” said the former light heavyweight (93-pound) and heavyweight (120,2-pound) champion.
In addition, the former fighter also regretted all the events and considered what the future might be for McGregor, who has not appeared in the octagon since July 2021, when he fractured his left leg in a fight against Dustin poirier.
“It’s unfortunate because this is one of the biggest stars this sport has ever seen. We’ve never seen anything like this.” Conor McGregor in Mixed Martial Arts. For a guy of that stature to come from our sport and be linked to something as bad as this, it really sucks. There are going to be some long-term effects from this,” DC concluded.
