Conor McGregor talks about the 2016 US presidential elections
In a 2016 interview with BT Sport, UFC megastar Conor McGregor had some strong opinions about the presidential election. The Irishman stated that he didn't care at all about the on-going polls.
'The Notorious' expressed that he didn't think anything was going to change regardless of who won the election:
"I just could not give a boll**ks. With all due respect, the whole thing is just weird to me... I don't think, whoever wins, anything is even going to change. I think the public are just brainwashed into this, as if any thing is going to happen with this one. I don't think either of those two contenders, whatever they are, have any power in anything anyway."
