Conor McGregor has been named the UFC's most hated fighter in a new study of fans' online activity, with Israel Adesanya the most beloved.
New research from Bookmakers.com has shown the McGregor bares the brunt of negative comments from fans on social media due to his outspoken nature. However, the Irishman is infamously divisive, and he also lands at No.3 on the list of most beloved fighters, which is topped by middleweight champion Adesanya.
A former two-weight world champion in the promotion, McGregor is undoubtedly MMA's biggest star, and one of the most famous athletes in the world. He topped the Forbes Magazine rich list last year, and has made hundreds of millions throughout his fighting career after being signed to the UFC just under a decade ago.
