Conor McGregor. Just saying his name brings up a lot of thoughts. And as he is making his return this weekend against Max Holloway it appears. Well, there is clearly a huge divide between the hardcore and casual fanbases. I'll ask you...Do you like Conor McGregor in 2026?

These days you can't look at a comment section of a Gable Steveson video or clip on social media without his allegations coming up. I was extremely curious about this myself and decided to take a deep dive look at it. Did he get away with it or is he innocent?

In hindsight, it will be funny to look at these, but the truth is the vast majority of fans counted them out.
