Conor McGregor: From UFC Legend to Outcast – The Empire Collapsed Due to Rape Scandal!

Alcohol brands pulled, retailers boycotted, and digital erasure—McGregor’s name is being erased faster than his fights lasted in the octagon. Is this the end of the notorious one’s legacy?

Repercussions of Sexual Assault Verdict

Conor McGregor’s reputation continues to suffer following a recent sexual assault verdict. In a significant move, Irish airports in Cork and Dublin have pulled McGregor-related alcohol products, including Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey and Forged Irish Stout, from their bars. This comes after the former UFC champion was found liable for a 2018 assault.

Irish Airports Severe Ties with McGregor’s Brands

A spokesperson for DAA (formerly Dublin Airport Authority) confirmed the removal of McGregor’s alcohol brands from their premises. Proper No. Twelve, launched in 2018 and sold to Proximo Spirits in 2021, had McGregor as its promotional face until Proximo recently announced it would no longer associate with him. Similarly, Forged Irish Stout, introduced in 2021, has now been banned from airport bars, reflecting the growing backlash.

Widespread Retailer and Industry Backlash

The controversy isn’t limited to airports. Major Irish retailers such as Tesco, SuperValu, Centra, Costcutter, and Carry Out have removed McGregor’s alcohol products from their shelves. Additionally, video game publisher IO Interactive has distanced itself by removing McGregor’s digital content from its popular title, Hitman: World of Assassination. This widespread rejection showcases the extensive fallout from McGregor’s actions.

High Court Ruling and Financial Consequences

The backlash follows a High Court ruling on November 22, where McGregor was found liable for the sexual assault of Nikita Hand at a Dublin hotel in December 2018. The court ordered McGregor to pay over $250,000 in damages to the victim. This verdict has not only led to legal penalties but also severely impacted McGregor’s business ventures and public image.

A Troubled Legacy in Combat Sports

At 36, McGregor remains one of the biggest names in MMA, celebrated as a former two-division UFC champion. However, his legacy is increasingly overshadowed by legal issues and personal controversies. McGregor has not fought since his leg injury against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. These ongoing scandals raise doubts about his future in both combat sports and the business world.
