Conor McGregor responds to "heaviest insult" from "weasel" Irish comedian

Conor McGregor has continued to hit out at Irish comedian PJ Gallagher for his comments about the UFC star's nationality.

Gallagher, who is a radio host and stand-up comedian, reposted a tweet showing UFC broadcaster Laura Sanko mistakenly claim McGregor was a British fighter. The comedian took a shot at McGregor by captioning his post: "Normally this kind of thing winds me up but they can have this lad."

It is not the first time an Irish sports star has mistakenly been labelled as British and McGregor explained why he was so offended by Gallagher's follow-up comments. "One of the heaviest insults you can give an Irish man. He is a weasel," McGregor wrote whilst replying to a fan on Twitter.
