A man viciously punched by Conor McGregor has said the fighter is “stupid” for abusing mental health issues and Ireland soccer legend Paul McGrath.
Innocent assault victim Desmond Keogh, 54, was decked in the face in an unprovoked attack by the 34-year-old in 2019. Millionaire MMA star McGregor – who is dubbed The Notorious – pleaded guilty to the punch after Des refused to drink a whiskey with him.
Critics this week accused McGregor of abusing mental health issues when he trolled comedian PJ Gallagher, 47, about depression and offered to fight McGrath, 63, and barred him from his pubs. Des, who McGregor later barred from his Marble Arch pub in Dublin, told Dublin Live that his attacker’s comments about PJ and Paul are “stupid”.
