Desmond Keogh (54) was punched in an unprovoked attack by McGregor in 2019
A man viciously punched by Conor McGregor has said the professional fighter is “stupid” for mocking mental health issues and Ireland soccer legend Paul McGrath.
Critics this week accused McGregor of abusing mental health issues when he trolled comedian PJ Gallagher about depression and offered to fight McGrath and barred him from his pubs. The controversy involving McGregor, Gallagher, and McGrath began earlier this week after the comedian and radio host reshared a video of an American sports presenter calling the Irish star one of the “top five active UK fighters in the UFC”.McGregor then responded by referencing the mental health of PJ, who earlier this year revealed that he suffered a “total breakdown” and spent 11 weeks with St Patrick’s Mental Health Services in Dublin.
He added: “Conor, you need to find God and when you do, knock on my door, I will have the kettle on for ya. My good friend.” Paul’s son Mitch responded and said: “I’ll fight in my dad’s place. You calling out old men. You’re a joke, lad. Get a grip of yourself. Embarrassing yourself.”
