Conor McGregor compared to Britney Spears as UFC fans fear star is “spiralling”

Conor McGregor's fans have compared him to infamous pop star Britney Spears after a series of Instagram messages left them concerned that he was "spiralling".

The legendary former two-weight UFC champion has been out of action since July of last year, but has managed to stay in the headlines through a series of increasingly strange outbursts. He has become infamous for his 'tweet and delete' sprees on social media, and last night posted a series of photographs and videos to Instagram which have now been taken down.

He could be seen posing with a new watch in many of the pictures, as well as showing off his Rolex and comparing it to other types of watches. However, fans didn't think the posts were all that impressive, instead expressing concern that the Irishman may be struggling since taking an extended break from competition due to injury.
