“I thought you would erase him. What I'm saying is he's a faggot. I didn’t know he was a faggot,” said Conor, as he walked alongside Lobov and criticized Fili’s stance.

PUBLICITY:

It is worth remembering that at the beginning of October, the Brazilian Fabricio Werdum was sentenced to do community work with the LGBT community after arguing with Tony Ferguson, whom he called 'maricon', a term considered homophobic. It is not known, however, whether McGregor will be punished in the same way.
