Former UFC double champion, Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor demanded decisive action from the authorities of his country to stop the riots in Dublin.
Recall that the Dublin police and riot police clashed with protesters after an unknown man attacked children with a knife near a school.
What happened last night did nothing to solve the problems we faced. But I understand the frustration and recognize the need for action to achieve change. And fast! Believe me, I am much more organized, I have support. Mark my words, Ireland will live to see the changes, the necessary changes. If they don’t adopt a plan to keep Ireland safe soon, I will.

McGregor last fought against Dustin Poirier in July 2021 at UFC 264. In that confrontation, Conor was defeated by technical knockout after breaking his leg.
McGregor is currently riding a streak of two consecutive defeats. Conor's return to the octagon is expected next year. He has 22 wins and six defeats on his record in mixed martial arts.
