Conor McGregor’s Fall: Mural Removed and Legacy Tarnished After Sexual Assault Case

From UFC champion to controversial outcast, McGregor’s image is being torn down—literally. The iconic mural that once celebrated his legendary knockout was quickly painted over after a shocking court verdict. The UFC star now faces a world of backlash as brands sever ties and public admiration fades. Will McGregor’s once untouchable legacy survive the fallout, or is this the beginning of the end? Stay tuned.

Conor McGregor’s Mural Removed After Sexual Assault Case

A mural of Conor McGregor was quickly painted over at Scully Fitness Gym in Corrandulla, Ireland, following a civil court ruling that found McGregor liable for the sexual assault of Nikita Hand. Once a dominant figure in the UFC and an iconic symbol of Irish MMA, McGregor is now facing intense backlash after the court’s decision last Friday. In court, McGregor denied the rape allegations, asserting that the encounter was consensual. However, his public image has deteriorated rapidly, and he plans to appeal the decision.

Gym’s Quick Decision Sparks Controversy

The mural, which depicted McGregor celebrating his legendary 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo at UFC 194, had been an enduring symbol of his legacy in the sport. But in light of the recent court ruling, the gym owners chose to take down the image. Videos shared online showed men painting over the mural with several coats of white paint. A TikTok user, @donalcourtney, documented the process, which quickly gained attention. The removal of the mural was seen as a bold public statement in response to the court’s ruling, marking a shift in public sentiment toward McGregor’s controversial legal troubles.

Demands to Remove More McGregor Murals

The Scully Gym mural wasn’t the only one celebrating McGregor in Ireland. His image has been featured in murals across the country, but in light of the recent ruling, there are increasing calls to take down others as well. With McGregor’s criminal case now dominating the headlines, his past achievements are being overshadowed by the ongoing controversy. Many fans and critics are questioning whether such displays of admiration are still appropriate, given the court’s findings.

McGregor Loses Major Brand Deal

The fallout from the court ruling extended beyond the mural. Just days after the decision, McGregor lost his brand deal with Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey, the company he had been the face of for years. The brand’s decision to sever ties with McGregor marks a significant shift in how the public and businesses view the UFC star. As McGregor plans his appeal, the impact of this scandal on his career and future endorsements remains uncertain.
