Breaking someone's phone I wouldn't count as assault.
The trolley was scummy though.

McGregor is the most famous and popular worldwide.
31 Millon Instagram followers. Worldwide he is famous.

The people you mentioned there have nothing on him

No way is he the most famous Irish sportsman ever. Stupid comment typical of his fanboys. Do they realise a huge amount of ppl don’t even consider mma a sport and never will!

None of them are even close to McGregor. Brian O'Driscoll for fook sake, how many people outside the rugby nations know who he is? He's a nobody compared to McGregor.

Who is more famous or was more famous?

Well keane wasn't getting pictured in the papers with his hand up between the legs of low-level skanks (who claims she had his child) while his long-term partner is at home with the kids.

Hanging out with convicted drug dealers all the time? Wasn't doing that either.

Human garbage behaviour.

Yep, Keane was known to be incredibly respectable off the pitch. He's literally known in Cork for all the work he does in relation to guide dogs.

Rugby is watched by about 475 million people, O'Driscoll was one of the best for a time.

2 million is the record for an MMA event.

If being famous for all the wrong reasons is how you measure someones worth then yes, mcgregor is the more famous.

Katie Price is famous - fame means nothing.

As much as I cannot stand McGregor these days, I am sorry but in terms of being world famous Roy Keane is the only one were there is an argument. And in recent years no chance

Compared to the former captain of Manchester United during one of the most successful periods in the history of football, which has hundreds of millions of fans across the world.

Instagram is a mediocrity contest, and not an indicator of valid achievement or recognition.

The majority of my foreign friends wouldn't have a clue who any of them are. They all know who McGregor is.

Even I don't know who Sean Kelly is..who the fook is that guy???

Firstly, it is a sport, what is your reason for believing it is not?

Please note if your main objection is going to be around 'brutality' and 'two lads just knocking the heads off each other', then I'd suggest trying to read up and understand it as opposed to just putting it down.

Secondly, while there are certainly greater Irish sporting role models than Conor, who else has the fame near his level?

This is not a fanboy comment - I've watched & been involved in MMA/MA long before knowing about Conor and will be afterwards.

A lot of people seem to be attaching their own meanings to the adjective famous. Famous means famous, it means a lot of people knows who they are. It has nothing to do with self worth.

Are some people here bitter that McGregor is so successful given his personality?

rafatoni

his sponsors must be wobbling looking at the NY times sexual assualt claims.

He isn't remotely as famous as Roy Keane would have been in the early 2000s..

Don't like the man's behavior however in terms of fame I'd say he's way ahead of Keane.

I think you are overestimating the importance and popularity of MMA in comparison to soccer. In particular Manchester united. I don’t know how many people in the US would know McGregor either.

Well he's definitely the most internationally famous Irish man accused of this.

I think that we can all agree on that.

Yeah big Vince fan but he hasnt been on TV for years. Its "The McGregor walk" in the US.

Vincent Vega

Absolutely loathe the guy but ffs cmon, he is clearly the most universally well known (ie: famous) Irish sports star.

This isn't a contest of who better deserves to be recognised and for what or an endorsement of the guy, it's just observing that he is more widely known amongst sports fans and everyday people than any other individual sports star.
