Bill Burr defends Conor McGregor’s post-fight tirade: ‘He’s selling the fight’

Renowned stand-up comic Bill Bur has defended Conor McGregor’s post-fight behavior at UFC 264, claiming that people have got away with ‘a lot more crazy sh-t than that’.

McGregor hurled insults at Poirier and his wife Jolie as the Irishman lay on the octagon floor with a broken leg following his first-round stoppage defeat at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 10.

Burr felt bad for McGregor because of the way the fight ended (McGregor snapped his leg during a stand-up exchange at the end of the first round) and thinks people are being too harsh on the former UFC two-division champion.
