McGregor’s dad tells President Zelensky to keep his son’s name ‘out yo ‘f*****g mouth’ over Putin criticism

Conor McGregor’s father hit back at Volodymyr Zelensky after the Ukrainian president criticized the former champion for meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Tony McGregor posted a photo on Instagram of Zelensky seated at a table alongside French president Emmanuel Macron, former German chancellor Angela Merkel, and Putin, along with the caption, “Zelensky, fight your war and keep my son’s name out yo f*****g mouth.”

McGregor’s explicit rant occurred shortly after Irish media reported that Zelensky was unhappy with McGregor posing alongside Putin during the 2018 World Cup in Moscow. Zelensky informed an Irish delegation visiting Kyiv last week that he was once a fan of the former two-division UFC champion but changed his opinion after McGregor met Putin.
